That problem does need to exist because of a very old feature "do nothing on lid close" 😂

Can this be done on a shared hosting server as well? or does it really have to be a VPS Hosting

I run out of tokens with the lid open even when force stopping unnecessary verifications. I can’t trust Codex with lid closed
