# Service protection Elestio services can be protected against accidental deletion by enabling the *Termination protection* feature: [![Screenshot 2022-09-28 204650.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/screenshot-2022-09-28-204650.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/image-1641899911827.png)
When *Termination protection* is enabled for a service, it can't be terminated or powered down. In order to terminate or power off a protected service, you will need to disable *Termination protection*.

Running out of credits will cause your service to be powered down even if Termination protection is activated.
