By router, do you mean the sever? And btw, stress on the servers was never the problem, the cost was. It is expensive to use AWS, especially when you are hosting for 500K+ people.
I totally agree with you. But, Glitch should’ve thought of this a while ago. The always-on feature has been on projects since 2019, but never used. (I was here in 2018 but don’t remember if it existed) Also, this would not put stress on the servers. Glitch probably knew that there was going to be a rush of people buying boosted projects because of the ban. So most likely they bought better servers to work with that stress.
