When I do a browser request to an endpoints okteto has created, it should reset the “sleep timer” of the entire namespace and start again to 0.

Hi @alexissellier, what’s your use case? is it only for preview environments? or also for dev environments?

My use case is to be able to lower at the maximum the value of `scaleToZeroPeriod` in the GC so I can lower my infrastructure cost. Without the sleep timer resetting each time a request is done, I will end up having my dev environment scale down even if someone is working on it.

What resets the timmer today is to have an active `okteto up` session. A dev environment never scales to zero while you are running `okteto up`. Would that cover your use case?
