# (Nov 17, 2025) GPU Container Policy Update on Nov 24

2025-11-17

Hello, this is the Arkain Customer Experience Team.\
We sincerely thank you for your continued support of Arkain.

We would like to inform you of an important update to our [GPU Container](/user-guide/dashboard/container/nvidia-tesla-t4-gpu-container.md) Policy, aimed at improving service stability and overall performance.

***

### Key Updates to GPU Containers

We are implementing the following changes, effective **Monday, November 24th:**

* **Instance Type Upgrade for Enhanced Stability:**
  * The GPU Container instance type will be changed from Spot to On-demand.
  * This change ensures you can reliably access and utilize your GPU containers whenever you need them, without the risk of sudden interruptions.
* **GPU Container Access Limited to Membership Users:**
  * To support the new On-demand infrastructure and provide a premium experience, GPU Containers will now be exclusively available to Membership Plan Users.
* **Updated Pricing:**
  * With the upgrade to On-Demand instances, the GPU Container usage rate will be 51.76 credits per hour. This adjustment reflects the increased cost of guaranteed and stable resource availability.

### Note on Existing GPU Containers

* **Current Status:** Any GPU containers you have previously created are currently stopped.
* **How to resume:** Starting November 24th, you can run your GPU containers after subscribing to a Membership Plan.
* **Data Backup Support:** Please note that containers that remain inactive for more than 6 months will be deleted. If you require assistance with backing up the data in your currently inactive GPU Container, please contact us via [**Chat**](http://arkain.channel.io) for support.
