Lifecycle: dormancy, reconnect & transfer

After 30 days of no activity, the admin team gets warnings first (starting 3 days before dormancy, up to three times); once the timer runs out, the bot goes offline and the circle enters dormancy:

When a quiet circle goes dormantAfter 30 days without activity the circle goes dormant and its bot goes offline. On each of the last 3 days before that, the admin team gets a warning. Members are asked to contact the owner; the owner or an admin wakes it with Wake Up, and renewing Circle VIP also lifts dormancy. Circles with active VIP never go dormant.Day 027282930last activitya warning to admins each day💤 dormantWake it up· The owner or an admin opens the circleor its console and taps Wake Up· Renewing Circle VIP lifts it too⭐ Circles with active VIP never go dormant.
  • Members opening a dormant circle are asked to contact the owner.
  • The owner or an admin sees a Wake Up button when opening the circle or its console; tapping it brings the bot back shortly after.
  • A dormant bot no longer receives messages; renewing VIP lifts dormancy automatically, and circles with active VIP never go dormant.

Settings → Bot connection (or the bot settings page):

  • Disconnect — pauses the connection to the Mixin Network and stops message delivery; you can reconnect any time.
  • Reconnect — restores the connection once validation passes. Note: you can only reconnect the same Mixin bot (client ID); to switch bots you have to delete the circle and start over (one bot maps to one circle).
  • Rotate credentials — requires disconnecting first; reconnecting asks you to type the circle number to confirm, guarding against accidents.

Settings → Danger zone → Transfer ownership (owner only):

  1. Enter the target member’s Mixin ID and tick the confirmation.
  2. It takes effect immediately, no acceptance needed: they become the owner (revenue and payouts go to their wallet from then on), you become an admin, and your console access is unchanged.
  3. Both parties receive a private message, and the action is written to the History.

Admins cannot perform the transfer on the owner’s behalf; double-check the recipient’s Mixin ID.

Delete from the danger zone on the bot settings page: the bot must be disconnected first; deletion removes the circle’s data and clears the stored bot credentials. Deletion is irreversible — to just pause, use disconnect or let the circle go dormant naturally.
