How does Auto Upgrade work in Clash Of Clans?
In Clash of Clans, Auto Upgrade is a feature that automatically levels up the buildings and other resources of a village. However, it only activates if the player is logged out of the game for a period of 90 days. The Auto Upgrade feature can keep players from lagging too far behind in the game. Moreover, since the returning player's pending work is completed for them, the game feels fresh and up-to-date upon logging back in.
This article explains how the Auto Upgrade feature works in Clash of Clans.
Auto Upgrade feature in Clash of Clans: Everything you need to know
When is Auto Upgrade activated?
The Auto Upgrade starts once a player has been inactive for 90 days. When this threshold has been crossed, the account will go into "auto-pilot" mode and start to upgrade all buildings, troops, and spells.
Once 90 days of inactivity have passed, some of the resources from collectors will be sent to the storage. Afterward, builders will automatically start to complete the recommended tasks. This process repeats until the player returns or everything is fully upgraded.

Limitations of Auto Upgrade
Once the Auto Upgrade has worked, it has a one-year cooldown. For instance, if a Clash of Clans player is inactive for 90 days, the Auto Upgrade starts. When the player returns or everything has been maxed out, the Auto Upgrade stops, and will not work until a year has passed since it was last activated.
It is also worth noting that Auto Upgrade will not set up new Storage, Defence, or Resource buildings. It will only upgrade the levels of buildings already in the village. Additionally, the Town Hall level will not be upgraded.
Although Auto Upgrade can give a little bonus to returning players, it is not a substitute for regular gameplay. Actively playing the game, participating in events, and completing the seasonal reward track will always yield more rewards.
How to tell if the village has been Auto-Upgraded?
You can easily tell that Auto Upgrade has been in play if the village girl shows upgrades that you did not start in the completed section. Additionally, if all buildings and troops are at maximum level after you have taken a long break, it is all thanks to the Auto Upgrade feature.
