Stop Autonomous AI Database

Describes the steps to stop an Autonomous AI Database instance.

Perform the following prerequisite steps as necessary:

• Open the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console by clicking the next to Cloud.

• From the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure left navigation menu click Oracle AI Database and then click Autonomous AI Database.

• On the Autonomous AI Databases page select an Autonomous AI Database from the links under the Display name column.

To stop Autonomous AI Database:

1. On the More actions drop-down list menu on the Autonomous AI Database instance, select Stop.

2. Click Stop to confirm.

   When concurrent operations such as scaling are active, the confirmation also confirms either pausing or canceling the concurrent operation. See Concurrent Operations on Autonomous AI Database for more information.

Notes for a stopped Autonomous AI Database instance:

• Autonomous AI Database Tools are no longer able to connect to a stopped instance.

• Autonomous AI Database in-flight transactions and queries are stopped.

• Autonomous AI Database CPU billing is halted.

• When an Autonomous AI Database is stopped for over 7 days, it may be behind on one or more patches which must be applied when the database is started. This may cause the starting of the database to take longer than usual. Oracle recommends starting your Autonomous AI Database instance once every 7 days to avoid additional startup time.
