I had this happen to one of my VMs, I was trying to compile something and went out of memory, then tried to stop the VM and it only came back after 15 min. I think it is a good compromise, long enough to give a chance for a clean reboot but short enough to prevent longer downtimes.
I’m just a free tier user but OCI is quite powerful. It feels a bit like KDE to me where sometimes it takes a while to find out where some option is, but I can always find it somewhere, and in the end it beats feeling limited by lack of options.
We've tried at shorter time periods, back in the earlier days of our platform. Unfortunately what we've found is that the few times we've tried to lower it from 15 minutes, we've ended up with Windows users experiencing corrupt drives. Our best blind interpretation is that some things common enough on Windows can take up to 14 minutes to shut down under worst circumstances. So 15 minutes it is!
