I’m new to current botting last time I played was 15 years ago. Started running the bot last night, but I believe that it paused the program whenever my laptop went into “idle mode”. Should I set my laptop to not go idle while running the bot or did I miss a setting?

If you didn’t set a [scheduler for d2bs](https://github.com/blizzhackers/documentation/blob/master/d2bot/ManagerSetup.md/#scheduler-optional), check the power options on your laptop on windows control panel.  
If your HDD/network/… are set to sleep/hybernate after a while, all running apps are suspended.
