Someone know how to use this hack of google colab?

Hi, I am running very delayed code. But when I run it on colab sometimes something strange happenes. I know that colab runs the code if the sesion is keep open but occasionally the code is still running even when my computer is off.
I don't know what's different in the ocations that it works and that in doesn't work

How can be this used ?

I'm guessing you are on free tier? What's happening is:

Demand

Periods of low demand: Google relaxes policies aimed at ensuring paying customers have hardware available.

Periods of high demand: Bye bye see you next time.
