Shelving is very similar to shutting the VM off, but a bit more complex. The 
quota for that instance will be deduced
from your quota too, and if not unshelved in a specific amount of time, the VM 
will be removed. When unshelving, you
will need to have enough quota to get it back.

Currently your server is in 'shelving' status, so it sholud be waiting for it 
to shut off, once that happens it will
consider it as shelved.
If it's still running in a while feel free to open a ticket so we do some 
debugging.

Cheers!
