Does discourse go to offline/sleep from time to time?

What exactly is happening? any clue?

Discourse doesn’t go to sleep. We don’t have much to go on.

Size of droplets, Not sure what you meant by that? CPU? Disk? RAM? It is with decent capacity.

It would be prudent to be forthcoming with the stats for your DO VPS, so we can help figure this out with you.

I’ve observed that if a self hosted discourse forum is not accessed for a while then it kinds of sleeps. It has happened to me many times on different forums. I can see the loading progress showing but it doesn’t load. Then after sometime, and accessing it from different browsers, it somehow wakes up.

You will be able to check your server’s logs to see what’s happening.
