Background Execution of Google Colab Pro+

I am having Google Colab Pro+ subscription and trying to run my notebook in background. But after some time execution halts. As per Description in Google ColabPro+ it supports background execution.

Can some one help?

Thank you

Ran into that today, too: You now need Pro+ Subscription for background execution. Colab pro is not enough.

Background execution is enabled by default on all Colab Pro+ sessions. I believe they have updated that modal to communicate the new policy enter image description here

For future viewers - I am unsure whether this still is the case, or if it now always has background execution enabled; See this image for my current menu under Runtime -> Change runtime type -> Background execution. As far as I know Colab does not mention this? I might be off here.

Click on Runtime option in the top left menu, then click on change runtime type, there you will see a checkbox for Background execution, check it and you can enjoy the benefit of Colab Pro+ :)
