Effective from 00:00 Beijing Time on September 7, 2026 (UTC+8), the Cloud Sandbox Snapshot feature will begin commercial billing.
Feature Overview
The Snapshot feature supports full-state snapshots (including memory and disk) of running sandboxes. Based on these snapshots, you can restore a sandbox within seconds or clone multiple new sandboxes. This is suitable for scenarios such as resuming long-running agent tasks from breakpoints, achieving cold starts within seconds through environment pre-warming, and parallel cloning for exploration.
