### Billing logics <a href="#gpuvmbillingpolicyv1-billinglogics" id="gpuvmbillingpolicyv1-billinglogics"></a>

| Billing Logic                                                                                              | Minimum billable usage | Time to charge   |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------- |
| <p>GPU virtual machine (GPU VM) package</p><p><strong>Only in the status</strong>: Running and Stopped</p> | 1 second               | Every 15 minutes |

**Billing Equation:**

* **GPU virtual machine (GPU VM) package:** Based on the number of GPUs, bundled ALL-IN-ONE (GPU, CPU, RAM, Storage, Public IP)
* **Usage duration**: **in seconds** (not rounded up) of VM in statuses **Running** and **Stopped**
* **Total Cost**: **GPU VM package price per second × Usage duration (s)**

**Example:**

> You use a GPU VM package with 1x H100 GPU (1 GPU, 16 vCPUs, 192 GB RAM and 3000 GB Local storage NVME) and priced at $2.54/hour for 30 minutes

* Usage duration: 30 minutes = 0.5 hours
* Total Cost = $2.54 \* 0.5 = $1.27

### Low Balance <a href="#gpuvmbillingpolicyv1-lowbalance" id="gpuvmbillingpolicyv1-lowbalance"></a>

When your **account balance is lower than the estimated total cost of using the GPU VM for 1 hour**, some actions may be limited, such as Create a new VM, Power on VM and Reboot VM.

You will also receive a notification from the system to add credits.

### Negative Balance <a href="#gpuvmbillingpolicyv1-negativebalance" id="gpuvmbillingpolicyv1-negativebalance"></a>

Whenever your balance reaches zero or below, your VM will be stopped automatically but not destroyed immediately. Data on local storage NVME will remain, and you are still billed in full for the stopped VM.

**If your balance is negative for 30 consecutive minutes, we will delete the VM, and all data will be permanently deleted**. Please plan accordingly.
