Hey, does "write" need to be capitalized in some way? Perhaps, Write/WRITE

It is not capitalized anywhere else in the docs.

You can resume your paused instance from the console.

A paused instance is **cancelled after 30 days** and after that, you **cannot restore it or recover your data**.

Gets deleted, not cancelled.

Could we be softer here? "If an instance is paused for 30 days, it will be deleted automatically and it will not be possible to restore or recover data."

Maybe we drop one of the "restore / recover" words actually - that might soften it up enough

To restore and recover data is not the same thing so I think it makes sense to mention both.


Additionally, Free instances are **not automatically backed up**.

If you would like to backup your instance, take a link:https://neo4j.com/docs/aura/preview/managing-instances/instance-details/#_snapshots[snapshot]

I think Snapshots will need it's own page soon!

Snapshots are taken on-demand and only the latest snapshot is available for download.

If we say can be taken, we imply that there are other ways to take snapshots, which there are not in the case of a Free instance.
