Sometimes the consoles stop working after a few days of work, can you tell me why? I fixed the problem by assigning a task, but anyways, why do they stop?

Why do consoles keep falling?
We do not keep consoles running forever. We need to stop them to manage the service.

Oh ok, thx
Is there a way you guys could publish like a schedule with those planned downtimes?
Not really -- but as you have a paid account, if you want to have a script that keeps running, you can use an always-on task, which is designed for that use case.
Yes, I've seen it. But is only 1 script.... ☹️ Maybe send an email or something after that reset?
Always-on tasks are optimised for running a single script in a reliable way, they're included in your paid account, and they're really easy to set up. It really is exactly designed for what you're trying to do. Using a console for that kind of thing (even with email when console servers restart) would be kind of like adding a lead weight to a screwdriver to make it easier to use when hitting a nail -- it's better to use a hammer instead ;-)
