Elastic Desktop Service:SetDesktopGroupScaleTimer

Last Updated:Nov 14, 2025

Configures an auto scaling policy for a multi-session cloud computer. Elastic Desktop Service allows multiple end users to share a cloud computer in a multi-session cloud computer pool. This helps save costs.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.

Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

  • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
  • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
  • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
    • For mandatory resource types, indicate with a prefix of * .
    • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
  • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
  • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.

Request parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptionExample
RegionIdstringYes

The region ID. You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the regions supported by Elastic Desktop Service.

cn-hangzhou
DesktopGroupIdstringYes

The ID of the cloud computer pool.

dg-2i8qxpv6t1a03****
ScaleTimerInfosarray<object>No

The information about the scheduled auto scaling task.

objectNo

The information about the scheduled auto scaling task.

TypestringNo

The type of the auto scaling policy.

Valid values:

  • drop

  • normal

  • peak

  • rise

rise
RatioThresholdfloatNo

The threshold for the ratio of connected sessions. This parameter is the condition that triggers auto scaling in a multi-session cloud computer pool. Formula:

Ratio of connected sessions = Number of connected sessions/(Total number of cloud computers × Maximum number of sessions allowed for each cloud computer) × 100%.

When the specified threshold is reached, new cloud computers are automatically created. When the specified threshold is not reached, idle cloud computers are released.

0.9
KeepDurationlongNo

The keep-alive duration of a session after the session is disconnected. Unit: milliseconds. Valid values: 180000 (3 minutes) to 345600000 (4 days). A value of 0 indicates that the session always keeps alive.

If a session is disconnected by the end user or accidentally due to a factor and the end user does not re-establish a connection with the session within the keep-alive duration, the session expires and unsaved data is deleted. If the end user successfully re-establishes a connection with the session within the keep-alive duration, the end user returns to the session and can still access the original data.

1000
BuyResAmountintegerNo

One option for the auto scaling policy. This option specifies the number of cloud computers that you want to create in the cloud computer pool. Valid values: 0 to 200.

5
MinResAmountintegerNo

One option for the auto scaling policy. This option specifies the minimum number of cloud computers that you must create in the cloud computer pool. Valid values: 0 to 200.

5
MaxResAmountintegerNo

One option for the auto scaling policy. This option specifies the maximum number of cloud computers that you can create in the cloud computer pool. Valid values: 0 to 200.

100
CronstringNo

The cron expression of the trigger time.

0 0 12 ? * 1
LoadPolicyintegerNo

The load balancing policy for the multi-session cloud computer pool.

Valid values:

  • 0: depth-first
  • 1: breadth first.
