What determines the timing of VU ramp‑down between stages in k6 load tests?
Understanding VU ramp‑down timing between stages The goal is to predict the exact moment k6 begins to reduce the number of virtual users after a stage ends, so that low‑traffic workloads can stay within the free‑tier VU‑minute quota. The documentation defines each stage by a target VU count and a duration, but it does not state whether the ramp‑down starts i
