A comment on Free (as in beer) Dynos.

Previously, worker dynos never slept. On the new free dynos, you now get a free worker dyno, but the tradeoff is that the app must sleep for 6 hours/day.

Does that sleeping time include the worker dynos? If it does, when do they sleep? Workers can't "timeout" like web dynos can.

The updated help pages only mention the scenario of a worker dyno running along a web dyno.

It's unclear what happens to apps which just have a single worker dyno. Are we meant to use the scheduler to kill workers for 6 hours a day?
