-It is possible to keep daemons alive between jobs by setting `stop-daemons` to `false`.

+### Stopping gradle daemon
+By default, the action will stop all Gradle daemons in the post-action step before the state of Gradle User Home is cached.
+
+If caching is unavailable or the cache is in read-only mode, the daemon will not be stopped and will continue running after the job is completed.
 ### Cache keys
 
 Distributions downloaded to satisfy a `gradle-version` parameter are stored outside of Gradle User Home and cached separately. The cache key is unique to the downloaded distribution and will not change over time.
