Hi @HirukaRogue!
I would usually say use Always On, but since Always On is now deprecated and soon to be removed completely, I would use a deployment. Then again, if you have a souped up PC that you made yourself (like me) or spent like $5,000 on it, just leave your computer on and turn off your monitor lol (that’s what I do).

i see, deployment, how do i use deployment?

Replit offers multiple deployment methods: Autoscale deployments, Static Deployments and Reserved VMs.

Maybe these pages will help:

To keep my Python bot running forever, I added a Flask server to the bot in the file background.py and asynchronously launched it. Then I connected it to the Uptimerobot server link.

The bot will work slowly, but for free, and almost without turning off.

oh that’s sounds perfect, how do i connect it to the uptimerobot?

I think there might be an issue: IIRC, Replit has problems with Uptimerobot. You cannot use Uptimerobot on Replit anymore.

I would suggest deployments instead, it is a better option.

Really? How long has this been going on?

There has been a fair bit of topics about it. Search ‘Uptimerobot not working’ in Ask.

I launched my bot before some of the Uptimerobot themes were created, but my bot is still working properly.

No, this is not normal.

16

This seems to be a bug. I would contact the Replit support team.

17

Hi, where are you creating the deployment from? From inside of a Repl? Or from the /deployments page?
