As a result, they do not need to be explicitly created or destroyed. The Dapr actor runtime automatically activates an actor the first time it receives a request for that actor ID. If an actor is not used for a period of time, the Dapr actor runtime garbage-collects the in-memory object. It will also maintain knowledge of the actor's existence should it need to be reactivated later. -Invocation of actor methods and reminders reset the idle time, e.g. reminder firing will keep the actor active.

For example, a reminder firing keeps the actor active. +- Actor reminders fire whether an actor is active or inactive. If fired for an inactive actor, it activates the actor first. +- Actor timers firing reset the idle time; however, timers only fire while the actor is active. The idle timeout and scan interval Dapr runtime uses to see if an actor can be garbage-collected is configurable. This information can be passed when Dapr runtime calls into the actor service to get supported actor types.
