Cloud Loops · 6 minutes
Continue a Loop while this device is off
Confirm that a Cloud Loop keeps its place when Aura and this computer are no longer running.
Use this guide with Aura
Open Aura, then keep this guide beside it while you follow the steps. Aura does not receive the page text, your account, your project, or anything you typed.
If nothing opens, start Aura normally. The written steps still work.
Before you start
- A Cloud Loop is already running.
- The Loop proposal showed Cloud ready before it started.
Plan and model funding
Cloud continuity is included with Pro under the published reasonable-use limits. Each model request still uses the funding source shown on the Loop.
Say this in ordinary language
Continue this approved Loop in the cloud and stop when the stated validation passes or a blocker is reached.
Steps
-
1
Open the dashboard and find the running Loop before closing Aura.
What you should see: The same goal, status, and project appear in the dashboard.
-
2
Close Aura after the Loop reaches a safe recorded state, then turn off this computer if desired.
What you should see: The dashboard continues to show the cloud-owned Loop record.
-
3
Return on another device and refresh the dashboard.
What you should see: Progress, a blocker, or a completed result appears without requiring the original computer to remain on.
-
4
Open Aura again on a trusted device.
What you should see: Aura reconciles the same Loop rather than creating a duplicate.
What Aura may change
Cloud workers operate on the isolated cloud copy needed for the approved job. They are not downloaded to users and are not included in the Aura installer.
How to verify it worked
The Loop keeps one identity across Aura and the dashboard, does not duplicate model work, and stops at the recorded condition or limit.
Undo or recover
Stop the Loop from the dashboard or Aura, then review any returned project result before applying it locally.
Common problems
- A Local Loop cannot continue after the computer turns off; it must have been started with Cloud selected.
- If Pro or funding becomes unavailable, the Loop must fail closed without starting another paid request.
