After 2-3 consecutive successful checks performed at 1-minute intervals, what is determined?

• A. Whether the least-loaded warehouse's load could be redistributed to other warehouses without starting additional warehouses
• B. Whether all warehouses should be shut down
• C. Whether to increase max warehouses
• D. Whether to switch to Economy mode

Answer: (B)

When you observe 2-3 consecutive successful checks at 1-minute intervals, it shows a sustained idle state with no immediate demand. In Snowflake, if warehouses remain idle, suspending them avoids paying for compute you don’t use. Reaching that idle confirmation leads to the determination to shut down all warehouses to save credits. The other options don’t fit this signal: redistributing load assumes there’s active work to move, increasing the maximum number of warehouses targets future concurrency rather than the current idle state, and Economy mode isn’t the standard action tied to a confirmed idle period.
