GPU Container Billing
Billing Logic
Minimum billable usage
Time to charge
- GPU Instance: - Number of GPUs - Usage duration (minutes) - Status: Running - Persistent Storage: - GB capacity - Usage duration (minutes) - Status: Running/Stopped
1 second
Every 15 minutes
Billing Equation:
Usage duration: In hours (not rounded up)
Storage Volume: In GB
GPU Cost: Usage hours × GPU hourly price
Storage Cost: Usage hours × GB × storage hourly price
Total Cost:
GPU Cost + Storage Cost
Example:
You use a container with one H100 GPU (15 CPUs, 250 GB RAM, 1 GPU) and 1000 GB temporary storage priced at $2.31/hour with 1000 GB persistent storage priced at $0.00013/GB/hour for 30 minutes
Usage duration: 30 minutes = 0.5 hours
GPU Cost:
0.5 × $2.31 = $1.16Storage Cost:
1000 × $0.00013 × 0.5 = $0.0015Total:
$1.16 + $0.0015 = $1.1615
Low Balance:
When your account balance is lower than the estimated total cost of using the container for 1 hour, some actions may be limited such as Create Container, Create Storage Volume, Start Container and Restart Container. You will also receive notification from the system to add credits.
Negative Balance:
Whenever your balance reaches zero or below, your container will be stopped automatically but not destroyed immediately. Data on temporary storage will be deleted and cannot be recovered. Since the data on the persistent storage is still available, you are still billed for persistent storage on stopped container.
If your balance is negative for 7 consecutive days, we will delete the container and all data will be permanently deleted. Please plan accordingly.
