Hi @Boris Shminkeโ , Thanks for reaching out to community.databricks.com.
When you create a workspace in databricks account console, in the background it creates a cluster with small nodes to carry out workspace operations. As of now, there is no option to pause the cluster nodes . The only option is to delete the workspace when it is not used. Even if you delete the nodes from the backend GKE cluster, Databricks service will automatically create it for recovery.
I would request to file a feature request in our ideas portal https://ideas.databricks.com/ideas/, so that you can interact and receive the updates directly with PM team on this idea. The ideas portal allows the customers to submit enhancement ideas and other customers to vote on their submitted ideas, and also gives the customers a direct line of communication with PM. You can subscribe to status updates as well.
