What the platform does, in order
1
Claims the agent
The agent moves to
deleting, which is a lock rather than a status. Nothing
else can act on it while the delete runs — including a second delete.2
Preserves the numbers
Usage history is snapshotted first, so the agent’s spend stays visible on
Costs after the agent itself is gone.
3
Reclaims the money
Whatever is left on the agent’s provider key and in its reserve returns to
your account balance. You get a notification saying so.
4
Destroys the container and the volume
The workspace is deleted with it. This is not recoverable.
The seat is not deleted
Deleting an agent frees its seat for a new agent. It does not reduce what your plan charges — the seat is what you bought. To pay for fewer agents, reduce the seat count from Billing. Reducing seats is prorated on the next invoice, and freed seats are available immediately.If it ends in error instead of disappearing
An agent whose disk could not be removed is left inerror rather than deleted.
That is deliberate: a volume that still exists is still billed, and a record that
vanished would leave nobody able to retry. Try the delete again, and
contact support if it fails twice.
