Nova automatically pauses inactive jobs to help you manage costs. Jobs auto-disable when their license expires or after 30 days without application activity. You can re-enable any job with a single click.

​
How auto-disable works

Nova monitors two conditions that trigger automatic disabling:
Each job receives a license when Nova is enabled. The license duration matches your plan’s billing cycle (30, 90, or 365 days). When a license expires, Nova auto-disables the job to prevent ongoing charges.Re-enabling: Click “Re-enable” from your dashboard to start a new license period. All previous data is preserved.
