🙌We are thrilled to announce a major update to RunComfy, Machine "Auto Stop".

1. Why do we need this feature?

Many users run long ComfyUI workflows and end up waiting around just to shut down the machine when it finishes. This wastes both time and money, especially when the workflow completes late at night or when you’re away from your screen.

The Auto-Stop feature solves two pain points:

• No more waiting in front of your screen. Previously, you had to keep checking back to see if your tasks had finished so you could shut down the machine manually. Now, with Auto-Stop, you can walk away — we’ll handle the shutdown for you.
• Avoid unnecessary costs. Your machine shuts down automatically as soon as all tasks are done, so you won’t waste money keeping it running longer than needed.

2. How does Auto-Stop work?

Once you enable Auto-Stop, the platform automatically shuts down your machine 60 seconds after all tasks in the queue are finished. This applies whether the tasks succeed or fail. You'll receive an email confirmation along with a full shutdown log, and you can find your results in the '/ComfyUI/outputs' folder when you return.

3. How to use Auto-Stop effectively ？

Step 1: Set a proper shutdown timer (Important)

Before starting your tasks, open the Change menu and set a shutdown timer.

This defines the maximum time the machine will stay running. Make sure to allow enough time for your workflow to complete. Auto-Stop does not extend this timer. ** Example: If your workflow normally runs for ~10 min, set a 15 min timer to be safe.*

❓ What if the Timer Ends Too Soon? If the timer elapses mid-workflow: The machine shuts down automatically, regardless of Auto‑Stop. So always set a timer that fully covers your longest workflow.

Step 2: Enable Auto-Stop after your tasks have started

Once your tasks are up and running — and you’ve confirmed everything you need is in the queue — click the Auto-Stop button, then select “Enable”.
