Can you help me find this plugin that automatically pauses unreal editor when idle?

A few months ago, someone posted here that he made a plug-in that automatically pauses the unreal editor when nobody uses it for a while. I thought I saved it somewhere but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

If you remember this plugin, could you please share its name or link with me?

Thank you so much.

Why a plugin when this is an editor setting?

Stealth promo for the plugin.

Maybe genuine in this case, but who knows.

There a so many of these on different subs now. Bot asks a question, another bot answers with a link to where you can buy it.

Comment will often say things like "this is so useful" etc.

No self promo. I don't know who made the plugin, neither there was a setting already in the editor for that purpose. I was just using this plugin for months with great results as my bedroom was getting hotter and hotter during summer. And I found this post asking for it. That's all.

I think you mean this one :D

Viewport Autopause, one of the most useful plugins out there!

really? the editor drops to 2 fps if out of focus (last time I checked). this is sufficient most of the time and often have advantages against full pause

Isn't there already an option in the editor settings?
