[FIXED] Where did the background option in Google Colab Pro+ go?

Issue

Good morning guys, I wanted to ask a question. Some months I use Google Colab Pro+, when I need to leave some notebooks running in the background to process large data, I clicked on the option "runtime" -> "change runtime type", I had a checkbox to mark it to run in the background. I don't remember updating Colab, I don't find this checkbox as an option anymore. I looked for the tabs, but I didn't find them. Has anyone gone through this?? It could give the way to reach that option again. Thanks.

Solution

If you look where the checkbox used to be it now says "Background execution is now enabled for all Colab Pro+ users. This does not affect the number of concurrent sessions allowed.".
