If you are using the "free" heroku plan they do spin down the single dyno when not in use. This makes sense as probably a LOT of those apps are just something someone was playing with and does not use on a regular basis. Also if they are not getting paid you can understand them wanting to minimize resources.
OTOH if you pay for at least 2 dynos then they NEVER spin down meaning your app is always nice and responsive even if nobody has it it for a while.
I WISH they offered the ability to purchase 1 persistent dyno. I don't really need two (my app is lightly used) but I don't want the startup delay. Seems if they offered 1 dyno that was persistent for $5-15/month that would lower the barrier to entry for becoming a paying customer and allow them to offer a single persistent dyno without dragging their profit down.
