Azure WVD - Host Pool Scaling plan not working?

Hello,

I have an host pool on Azure WVD with 30 session hosts with Windows 10 Single Session. My goal is to have only 1 VM in running state other than the VM running with 1 user session, the rest turned off. I have configured the pool Scaling Plan with the following options:

In General:

  • Repeat on: Everyday

In Ramp-up:

  • Start time (12 hour system): 06:00 AM
  • Load balancing algorithm: Depth-first- Minimum percentage of hosts (%): 3
  • Capacity threshold (%): 90

In Peak hours:

  • Start time (12 hour system): 08:00 AM
  • Load balancing algorithm: Depth-first
  • Capacity threshold (%): 90

In Ramp-down:

  • Start time (12 hour system): 07:00 PM
  • Load balancing algorithm: Depth-first
  • Minimum percentage of active hosts (%): 3
  • Capacity threshold (%): 90
  • Force sign out users: No
  • Stop VMs when: VMs have no active sessions
  • In Off-peak hours:
  • Start time (12 hour system): 08:00 PM
  • Load balancing algorithm: Depth-first
  • Capacity threshold (%): 90

With this configuration the scaling works correctly except for the VMs that leaves in running that don't have a session on, it seems that the pool always has at least 2 VMs without session in running, and I only want 1. Is the configuration correct? Why in Peak hours i am not able to select the percentage of hosts without a session I want to leave running?
