What happens if you leave Codespaces idle?

Nitya Narasimhan (@nitya) says: When you leave your Codespaces idling for a while, you may return to see a "Restart Codespaces" button on a white screen instead of the VS Code window you were on. This is likely because of your default Codespaces preference for suspending the Codespaces session based on idling time. Check your default idle timeout setting and tune it as necessary. Note that this is tied to billing so choose wisely to minimize usage of free tier.
