Always Free Oracle Instances (feddit.de)

I currently have the Always Free Oracle instance (Standard.A1.Flex), but I heard that it gets claimed again by Oracle when it is not actively used anymore (https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm):

Reclamation of Idle Compute Instances: Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:

CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15%

Network utilization is less than 15%

Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)

What do you do to keep it actively used?

I have an instance running nextcloud for my calendars for a month or so. I received an email 2 days ago basically staying this :

Reclaiming idle resources allows OCI to efficiently provide services to Always Free customers. Your account has been identified as having one or more compute instances that have been idle for the past 7 days. These idle instances will be stopped 7 days from now.

So I'm also wondering how to keep it active.

Edit: I just installed Serge. I'll just try to remember to play with it from time to time and see what happens.
