Documented steps

  1. Capture the sandbox id when you create it (e.g. 's.sandbox_id').
  2. Pause it to stop billing/lifetime clock: 'Sandbox.beta_pause(sandbox_id)'.
  3. From a different process/host (serverless function, another worker): 's = Sandbox.connect(sandbox_id)'.
  4. If the sandbox was paused, connect() automatically resumes it.
