# Restarting a Stopped Chainlet

As your chainlet runs, it is billed periodically. See the section on [chainlet billing](https://docs.saga.xyz/saga-web-app/working-with-chainlet/chainlet-billing) to get an understanding of how chainlets are billed, view billing history, export billing history, and other features associated with billing of chainlets.

Should your chainlet run out of funds, it will be halted and it's [status](https://docs.saga.xyz/saga-web-app/working-with-chainlet/get-chainlet-information) will show offline.

Each chainlet launched is associated with an [escrow account](https://docs.saga.xyz/saga-web-app/account-management/view-escrow-account-information) into which funds can be added or withdrawn by anyone, at any time. Chainlets are billed by depleting the funds deposited into this escrow account.

If your chainlet displays a status of STATUS\_OFFLINE and your chainlet's escrow account has been depleted, your chainlet can be restarted by [adding funds to the chainlet's escrow account](https://docs.saga.xyz/saga-web-app/account-management/deposit-funds-into-escrow).

{% hint style="warning" %}
If your chainlet has been stopped due to lack of funds, you will need to [deposit 30 days](https://docs.saga.xyz/saga-web-app/working-with-chainlet) worth of funds in the chainlet's escrow account to enable it to be restarted.
{% endhint %}

Once you deposit the necessary funds in the chainlet's escrow account, your chainlet should restart and show a status of `STATUS_ONLINE`. If you have issues restarting your chainlet, [please contact us](https://docs.saga.xyz/get-help-and-support) for further support.

## Restarting a chainlet

{% hint style="info" %}
Saga Web App is now online at:

**Testnet**: [https://testnet.app.saga.xyz](https://testnet.app.saga.xyz/)\
**Mainnet**: [https://app.saga.xyz](https://app.saga.xyz/)

You will need a wallet, such as [Keplr](https://www.keplr.app/), that supports Cosmos SDK based blockchains\
If this is your first time using Keplr Wallet, follow this [tutorial](https://help.keplr.app/articles/installation-guide-for-keplr-extension-for-beginners) to install and start using it.
{% endhint %}

You can easily restart a stopped chainlet from the **Saga Web App** as well.

In the chainlet listing above, we can see two chains that are not active, and we can also see that their escrow account balance has gone down to `0 PSAGA`.

We can restart these chainlets by adding funds to their escrow account. In the example below, we will restart the chainlet called `dchain`.

We can specify the number of days of balance we would like to add to this chainlet.

Here, we are adding 30 days worth of funds. Simply specify the number of days, and then click `Restart Chainlet`.

You will be prompted via Keplr to approve this transactions. Simply click approve and your chainlet will begin to restart.

The chainlet is restarted and after a few minutes, all of its status indicators turn green.
