In the docs for Heroku- App Sleeping on Heroku- it says that apps with a filled in hexagon icon will never go to sleep.

Mine has that icon, but still goes to sleep:

enter image description here -from App Sleeping on Heroku

Unlike the outlined hexagon with zzz's pictured above, when my app goes to sleep, the icon becomes a filled in hexagon icon with zzz's.

Why is my app going to sleep if the icon is indicating it won't? It this just old documentation on Heroku?

    That's not documentation, it's a blog post from 2013. When I hover over that icon in the Heroku console, it just says it indicates "App is awake" - I presume its meaning has shifted somewhat since 2013, as they changed how free dynos worked since then. See https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/free-dyno-hours for how to prevent sleep. – ceejayoz Nov 22 '19 at 19:22
  • Ahh yes, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Must just be a screenshot of old icons on an old out of date blog. – Dashiell Rose Bark-Huss Nov 22 '19 at 19:24

My mistake, that's an old Heroku blog post not a doc. Must be an out of date screenshot. The icons must have changed since then.
