Pause Sandbox
Tool to pause a running E2B sandbox preserving its filesystem and memory state. Use when you need to temporarily suspend a sandbox while maintaining its state for later resumption. Takes approximately 4 seconds per 1 GiB of RAM to pause. Paused sandboxes can be stored for up to 30 days.
Why this helps
Leaving a sandbox running after switching tasks creates cleanup work and can make active environments harder to track.
- Pause a specified sandbox when the task is temporarily on hold.
- Preserve its filesystem and memory state for later.
- Make a tidy end-of-session action from a familiar chat.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and E2B to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to pause the running E2B sandbox I identify when I ask in Telegram and report the result.
- 4Select the Telegram new-message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a sandbox you can safely pause and later resume.
Questions about this workflow
Does pausing delete my sandbox?
No. Pausing preserves filesystem and memory state. E2B says pausing takes approximately four seconds per GiB of RAM.
Can I pause it temporarily and come back later?
Yes. Paused sandboxes can be stored for up to 30 days, and a separate reconnect workflow can help you return to one.
