inside your container you can execute:

shutdown -P now

and this will halt and "turn off" your container with LXD, i imagine 
that the same will happens with LXC.

if the requirement is from the host, with LXD you can do:

lxc exec container -- shutdown -P now

for the same scenario.

You can put this in a crontab, in the host and/or the container
