Add "scheduled scaling/suspend" option for certain clusters
There should be an option to schedule scale up/down or suspending/resuming at specified time & day.
For example, DEV environments could be auto-suspended at 6pm and resume at 8am on weekdays, and be suspended all weekend.
Production clusters could be scaled down e.g. from M80->M60 every evening and on weekends rather than being suspended completely.
This would help save money but would need to be coordinated with the existing auto-scaling based on load.
This would need to be at the cluster level since sometimes different clusters in a single project could have different workload patterns.

I stumbled on this thread and thought I'd add a comment as the link posted by Brian no longer works, and I suspect that with the deprecation of Realm, the approach below will no longer work. My company maintains an open-source project that does exactly what was requested in the original request. The service can scale clusters up and down on a cron, as well as pause and resume clusters if desired. I hope this is of use. Feel free to fork the repo and make it your own.

Here's an example of how to use Atlas Triggers to schedule the scaling or suspension: https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/atlas-cluster-automation-using-scheduled-triggers

We are considering building a "scheduler" for Atlas where you can specify which times something can be paused/scaled down/scaled up etc. In the meantime, customers can use Stitch triggers and Atlas API to create their own scheduler.
