Check a mate’s status and health card before waking, pausing or restarting her from Manage. These controls affect only the selected mate.

Open the management dashboard → Mate Settings. Select All to compare mates, or select a mate’s card. You can also open her page from her name in the sidebar.

Status and stop reasons

Use the status text with the dot, not colour alone.

Status	Meaning
OK or Running	The container is running. Check model availability and an actual reply as well.
Starting or One moment please	Startup is in progress. Wait for an updated status.
Health check failing	The container runs but failed its health check. Investigate the cause.
Stopped; Today says “On leave. Check in on her when you get a chance.”	Intentionally paused until you wake her.
Stopped; Today says “Not running. Go take a look.”	The stop has not been marked intentional. Check status and logs.

Read the health card

These figures describe one mate, unlike whole-host resources.

Field	Meaning
Recent activity and 24h chats	Latest activity and conversation count over 24 hours.
Up	Time since startup. Repeated resets can indicate a restart loop.
30d tokens	Model usage over 30 days. See Usage for details; this is not a bill.
RAM	Used memory and its configured limit, separate from remembered information.
Cores	CPU cores used now and the configured limit.
CPU	The last 60 seconds’ average and the current value, relative to the mate’s limit. On arrival, the average uses available samples. With no limit, 100% means one core.
Disk and version	Space for work data and the program image, plus the current version.

The chart covers 8 hours in 5-minute intervals. On a computer, hover over it to see peak and average values. Cards use the same scale. A dash or Collecting data means data is unavailable, not zero usage.

Wake, pause or restart

Open the mate in the sidebar → Manage → Container. Another route is Mate Settings → select a mate → More controls.

Control	Effect and completion check
Wake Up	Select once, wait for a running status and check that she can reply.
Restart	Stops and starts her, with several seconds offline. Check her name in the confirmation, confirm and wait for health to recover.
Pause	Stops work until you wake her. Read the impact, tick the checkbox, confirm and wait for the stopped/on-leave status.

For a stopped mate not yet marked on leave, Put on Leave appears. Use it if you intentionally stopped her. It records leave; it does not fix the stop. For a restart loop, Pause can stop the loop before investigation.

While on leave, failed schedules and waiting cards remain in her Work tab. Today hides them temporarily; wake her to handle them.

For failed controls or continuing problems, use Mate not responding. For names and pictures, see Mate preferences.
