The Rocket agent automatically sleeps after around **10–15 minutes of inactivity** in a task. When this happens, a message appears in the chat and task features pause until you resume. No data is lost.

## What pauses during sleep

When the agent is sleeping, you will see this message in the chat:

> **The agent is sleeping due to inactivity**

The following are paused while the agent sleeps:

* Chat input
* Code generation and editing
* Visual design editing
* Live preview
* Launching your app
* GitHub push and pull
* Background processing

## Wake up the agent

Click **Wake Up Agent** in the chat. The agent resumes immediately and all Build features become available again: chat, code generation, live preview, and any other active functionality.

<Note>
  Waking the agent does not affect your task history, files, or outputs. Everything is preserved exactly as it was.
</Note>

## Why this happens

The agent sleeps automatically to conserve server resources. This typically happens when you step away for 10–15 minutes during a Build session.

Your task, messages, and generated content are all intact when you return. Sleep only affects the active session, not your saved work.
