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 = $1.16

  • Storage Cost: 1000 × $0.00013 × 0.5 = $0.0015

  • Total: $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.
