Stopping a Graph Instance
Scenario
If you do not need to use a graph, you can stop it. After the graph is stopped, you cannot access it.

- Stopping a graph does not release resources.
- After seven days of stopping a graph, the system will automatically restart the graph database instance to ensure it can keep up with the maintenance updates provided by the service.
Procedure
- Log in to the GES management console.
- In the navigation pane on the left, choose Graph Management.
- In the graph list, locate your desired graph, click More in the Operation column, and select Stop.
