Hi John, Similar to regular backend shutdowns, a Managed VM application is sent an /_ah/stop request to give it a chance to do clean up. Existing requests will have some time to complete, but they may get interrupted if they are long running. I have issued a request to have the documentation that you cited updated with this information.
