Billing for on-demand instances is in one-minute increments. Billing starts when an instance is launched and the dashboard shows the instance’s status is Running.
Billing stops when an instance is
terminated from the dashboard
or using the
Cloud API’s /terminate endpoint.
Note
You’re not billed for the time an instance’s status in the dashboard is Booting. Similarly, you’re not billed for the time an instance’s status in the dashboard is Terminating.Warning
Be sure to terminate any instances that you’re not using!
You will be billed for all minutes that an instance is running, even if the instance isn’t actively being used.
The GPU Cloud dashboard allows you to view your resource usage.
Invoices are sent weekly for the previous week’s usage.
Note
On-demand instances require us to maintain excess capacity at all times so we can meet the changing workloads of our customers. For this reason, on-demand instances are priced higher than reserved instances.
Conversely, we offer reserved GPU Cloud instances at a significant savings over on-demand instances, since they allow us to more accurately determine our capacity needs ahead of time.
