Webjob on azure not running continuously even when Always on option is ON
I am having a continuous Webjob which works fine for a couple of hours and then does not work until I restart. It seems to me azure takes it to idle mode but it shows me it's running but doesn't actually run. I have set the Always on option ON. I am having a paid plan with Azure. Do I need to use a timer or thread delay or some doughy code to keep it alive in my code? If that's the case whats the purpose of continuous option in webjob.
Someone use the Azure SDK in application which is not supported in the WebApp environment cause this problem, you could refer to it.

Any chance that your continuous job executable is terminating on its own? Continuous WebJobs need to have forever loops.

Thank you David. That means I need to add a Thread or timer to keep it awake.

Just to provide some documentation to back up the below comments you can have a look of the article here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/web-sites-create-web-jobs#webjob-types
It provides the following information in regards to Continuous WebJobs:
Starts immediately when the WebJob is created. To keep the job from ending, the program or script typically does its work inside an endless loop. If the job does end, you can restart it.
I have outlined the part relevant to your question
Hope this helps provide some clarity

Is this happening multiple times, or just one time?
