Server Remains Active After Game Instance Exit?

Whenever the game is prompted to end, the application terminates (I've tested this locally before deploying to PlayFab). PlayFab also props a new standby server within minutes of this termination, which is consistent with my understanding of what should happen. My problem is that the server which held the terminated game remains active. Why does this happen?

Thanks for the response. I understand that the servers are not intended to shut down. To my understanding, once a game is complete, an active server will get replaced with a standby server and the original will be handled by PlayFab. In my case, when the game ends and terminates, a new standby server does get created, however the old one remains as active even though there is no game running. Am I missing something?
