"This container will be alive for next 15 minutes. If you would like to keep it running more than 15 minutes please contact us on Twitter." - Changing 12 hours to 15 minutes, is the server overloaded?

We already receive a lot of interest but we just wanted to have more engagement on Twitter too :) We hit 300Mbps on our traffic and 30% on our CPU load. So, we still have more resources to serve. Also, our clusters are waiting to be spinned. Do you have any other recommendations to handle those requests and processes?
15 minutes seems reasonable to me. I thought the original 12 hours was too long - I was done with the container I spun up a few minutes after I started it.
Thanks for the feedback! Just like we thought. But we also wanted to be generous :)
