If they are clever they won’t actually manage the lobby on a running instance.
just manage it as a virtual-lobby, Then punt players into server instance when it’s ready. No need to actually keep an instance running if the virtual-lobby is empty.
really not rocket science to solve this kind of problem.

It seems to me like the server settings are now stored in such a way that it spools up with those settings when someone who is not the server owner joins, rather than keeping the server running constantly.
A 7-day expiry on a server would prevent the browser getting gummed up with the guff like the 10000% DMG one shot kill XP! servers.
