  2. Open the Actions menu next to your running instance and select Edit GPU Plan.
  3. Choose one of the following options in the pop-up window:
    • Hold GPU (Default): Retains the GPU when the VM is stopped, guaranteeing instant availability upon restart.
    • Detach GPU: Releases the GPU when the VM is stopped. Availability is not guaranteed when restarting.

If your instance is stopped or restarting, the Edit GPU Plan option will be disabled.
