A github service hook to start a VM, and shut it down after 15 minutes of inactivity

package.json

{
  "name": "vmstartstop",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "server.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "node server.js"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "MIT",
  "dependencies": {
    "azure": "~0.7.18"
  }
}

server.js

var subscriptionId = "xxx";
var hostedService = "hosted_service";
var deploymentId = "deployment_name";
var roleInstance = "role_instance_name";

var azure = require('azure');
var sms = azure.createServiceManagementService(subscriptionId,{keyfile:"./mycert.pem",certfile:"./mycert.pem"});

require('http').createServer(function(req, res){
	var path = req.url.replace('/', '');
	if (path && actions[path]) actions[path](req, res);
	res.end();
}).listen(process.env.port || 8080);

var timerId;
var actions = {
	start: function(req, res){
		sms.startRole(hostedService,deploymentId,roleInstance,function(err,data){
			if (err) console.log(err);
			console.log(data.body);
		});

		// shutdown  after 15 minutes of inactivity
		if (timerId){
			clearTimeout(timerId);
		}
		timerId = setTimeout(actions.stop, 15 * 60 * 1000);
	},
	stop: function(req, res){
		sms.shutdownRole(hostedService,deploymentId,roleInstance,true,function(err,data){
			if (err) console.log(err);
			console.log(data.body);
		});
		timerId = undefined;
	}
};

This used to work for me, but Azure must have updated something and this no longer works. Not exactly sure when the change of behavior occurred. I had set this up probably almost 2 years ago. Are you seeing that this still works? I'm using a Classic VM if that matters. Thanks for the gist!
