Supabase Project Dead After a Week? Here's the Fix

Supabase's free tier pauses a project automatically after 7 days with no database activity — a real, specific gotcha that catches pre-launch or low-traffic projects that aren't yet getting daily visits to keep the database "warm."

The fix:

set up a scheduled ping — a GitHub Actions workflow or a free uptime monitor hitting your database every few days — to keep it active with zero manual effort and zero cost. Cheap insurance for a project that isn't at steady traffic yet.
