@Ashwin_DSA Thanks for sharing your viewpoint!

Regarding serverless for interactive notebooks, I am clearly not happy, and Databricks documentation is ambiguous and very mysterious! I did small experiment and you can try your self as well!

If you look at the last two images, the cell execution stopped almost 20 minutes ago, yet the serverless status is still dark green — which doesn’t make sense to me.

It almost feels like unnecessary costs are being incurred silently. Either this is a bug that the product team should look into, or the behavior should be clearly documented so customers can plan accordingly.

I’m not sure where to escalate this — if you know the right channel, please let me know.
