Hello Marc-Aurèle, great. Didn't know that this parameter exists. Do you know in which ACS version this got introduced?
Many thanks. Ingo -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Marc-Aurèle Brothier [mailto:ma...@exoscale.ch] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 6.

This release window time is there to keep the capacity of stopped machines on a host for a certain time, before releasing it, in case the machine has to start again soon after. And most likely for other reason maybe in the advance networking mode. So try to decrease this time window and check your capacity after that.
