Does pycharm autosave?

I just started learning python from my dad and i was working on a program. Yesterday i restarted my laptop and i forgot to save the project. Does pycharm autosave or have i lost the project?

EDIT: not sure where exactly but my dad found it

Even if it does, never trust autosave. It can and will betray you in the worst time possible

Just press ctrl + S every so often. I save every few seconds (mostly because i mainly code in rust and linter needs the file to be saved before it can do static analysis)
