I am restricted from using gpu. I was restricted for 12 hours yesterday. I was restricted after only three hours of training today. Can you help me lift the restriction? I did not waste gpu resources, thanks colab pro user

Notebooks run by connecting to virtual machines that have maximum lifetimes that can be as much as 12 hours. Notebooks will also disconnect from VMs when left idle for too long. Maximum VM lifetime and idle timeout behavior may vary over time, or based on your usage. This is necessary for Colab to be able to offer computational resources for free. Users interested in longer VM lifetimes and more lenient idle timeout behaviors that don’t vary as much overtime may be interested in Colab Pro.
