I'll have a look at those tasks; it may be that the 'fix' will be to
disable the 'shelving' feature.
A couple of things to keep in mind regarding your original question:
- A shut down VM is no longer maintained by puppet, which means it might
miss out on security updates and the like while unreachable
- A running (but idle) VM doesn't consume a whole lot of resources
For both of the above reasons, just stopping services on the VM and
leaving it running is probably your safest/easiest bet. I will
nonetheless check out what the story is with shelving.

Shelving is very similar to shutting the VM off, but a bit more
complex. The quota for that instance will be deduced
from your quota too, and if not unshelved in a specific amount of
time, the VM will be removed. When unshelving, you
will need to have enough quota to get it back.
Currently your server is in 'shelving' status, so it sholud be
waiting for it to shut off, once that happens it will
consider it as shelved.
If it's still running in a while feel free to open a ticket so we do
some debugging.
Cheers!

I also see "Shelve Instance"; what does that do? I'm actually kind
of curious about that last one because in my exploring, I
accidentally clicked it, but other than seeing a "shelving" progress
bar appear, it doesn't seem to have actually done anything. My
instance is still running normally. Fingers crossed :-)

There's actually several ways:
* pause -> will preserve the current running status, with whatever
is on ram. It will store the VM ram info on the
hypervisor RAM, so it will stay on the current hypervisor but will
be fast to start.
* suspend -> similar as above, but storing the VM ram on disk.
* shut off -> will turn the OS on the VM off, same as turning off a
bare metal, the VM OS will stop any processes and
such, and will have to boot when turning it on (slower, but allows
moving the VM easily).
