A message in the app or in Slack resets the count, whoever sends it. Routines and other work a Bot starts on its own don't count, so a Bot that only runs routines won't keep its computer.

The setting is off by default. Turn it on and members already past 30 days are included, with no grace period. A computer that's awake, with a Bot working, is never terminated.

For a fresh start, there's Delete VMs and Data. It removes a member's computer and durable disk, keeps their Bots and conversations, takes up to 1,000 members at once, and can't be undone.

An automatic terminate works like a manual one. Bots, files and logins come back, but apps members installed themselves don't. I'd turn it on, and move those apps into a Team Setup Script.
