# Auto-Disable

> How Nova automatically pauses scoring on inactive or expired jobs to control costs.

Nova disables scoring on jobs in 2 situations. Disabled jobs can be re-enabled anytime, and all scores are preserved.

## Billing period expiry

For metered plans, Nova disables scoring at the end of each billing cycle. Warning emails with **Keep Active** links go out during a grace period (default: 5 days before the boundary). Click the link or re-enable from the dashboard.

Re-enabling after expiry starts a new billing period.

## Inactivity

Jobs with no applications processed for 30 days (default) are automatically disabled. No warning emails for inactivity.

## Re-enabling

Click **Start** on any disabled job from the Jobs page. Scoring resumes immediately.

<Note>
  Auto-disable only affects Nova's scoring. Your job posting stays active in your ATS.
