## Requirements and limits

### No graphical desktop in the cloud

Limitation: The cloud computer currently provides a command line. Manus Desktop is intended for files and apps on your own computer.

### Back up files when canceling a cloud plan

Limitation: When the plan ends, the virtual machine, including work files, installed tools, and databases, is deleted; delivered chat results remain available.

### Cloud tasks may pause when changing plans

Limitation: A resource upgrade restarts the virtual machine; running projects pause briefly.

## Context

Persistent servers require a Cloud Computer subscription. Back up working files before it ends; authorize local computer control explicitly.

Cross-checked on October 9, 2026 against the Manus 2.0 announcement, Cloud Computer page and billing documentation. Product features are provider claims; persistent Cloud Computer is billed separately.
