# Model Hub Billing

Based on usage volume and usage duration of a pipeline.

* Each hour is split into 12 blocks — **1 block = 5 minutes**.
* Smaller chunks mean you don’t get charged for idle time.
* If your model is active, we measure how much storage (in GB) it used during that block.
* If your model is deleted, nothing is recorded, and you’re not charged for that block.
* At the end of the hour, we add up all the recorded usage to calculate your bill.

**Rate**: `01 GB/hour` (Every 1 hour)
