I'm confused as to when Transaction Groups run. If they are configured in a Project, does that project have to be running for the transaction group to run? I'm asking this because I have no projects running but I see 2 transaction groups "running" in the gateway status.

Transaction groups run based on how you've configured them, independent of any clients running.

Think of projects as a way to organize your resources.

A project's gateway resources run when the project is enabled and it is not inheritable.
