To ensure that resources in the Hong Kong Free Zone are properly utilized and not wasted, and to address previous issues with lag caused by too many instances being launched simultaneously, the platform has made the following adjustments to the resource scheduling rules for this zone. Please read carefully if you are a participating user:
1. Adjustment to the Number of Simultaneous Instances
The maximum number of containers that can run simultaneously in a single Hong Kong Free Zone has been changed from unlimited to 100 instances. Orders exceeding this limit will not be activated immediately and will enter the “Queueing” status. No action is required on your part; the system will automatically activate your order in sequence (this may require 7–14 days of cycling).
2. Queue Activation Rules
- Orders in the queue are strictly activated based on the order in which they were placed—first-come, first-served, ensuring fairness and transparency;
- The system checks automatically every 30 seconds. Once a container slot becomes available, the next order at the front of the queue will be activated automatically—no need to refresh manually;
- You can view your queue position, the number of orders ahead of you, and the estimated activation time on the order details page.
3. Maximum Runtime and Rotation Mechanism
- Each order’s container can run for a maximum of 7 consecutive days;
- After 7 days, the system will send you a reminder. Please release the container within a 3-day grace period (operation available on the order page) to make the slot available for the next user in the queue;
- If you do not manually release the container during the 3-day grace period, the system will automatically reclaim the container (all container data will be deleted);
- Any slots freed up will be automatically assigned to users in the queue. Your order will also re-enter the queue. This rotation allows more users to access resources in this zone.
4. Original Rules Remain Unchanged
- The original rules for renewals, such as “no evaluation required for renewal” and “if you check in 21 days within 90 days, you can renew for 3 months at once,” remain in effect;
- The latest possible expiration date for all instances will not exceed November 11, 2026. When the host is shut down at expiration, all instances will also be terminated (it’s possible a new free zone may be offered at that time, extending the expiration date);
- The platform’s multi-account association detection mechanism remains in force. Multiple accounts claiming free resources are strictly prohibited; any violations will result in deletion of all related account instances and permanent ban.
We ask for your understanding and cooperation to help maintain order in the Hong Kong Free Zone. Thank you for your support!
Additionally, some users from the Hong Kong Public Welfare Zone have switched themselves to the Hong Kong Free Zone. If you are a paid public welfare zone user, you may submit a ticket to return to Hong Kong Public Welfare Zone 15.
