Credits
The usage of Runtimes is based on a credit consumption model. When you open an account, you begin with a set of free credits to get you started.
When launching a Runtime, you are required to specify a time reservation value. This value represents the maximum amount of time the runtime can run and this immediately will be deducted from your credits. If the Runtime is terminated before the time reservation is fully utilized, the remaining credits will be automatically added back to your account.
Credits are consumed while Runtimes are running, even if they are not actively being used. Ensure to terminate Runtimes when they are no longer needed to optimize credit usage.
For detailed information about credit pricing and the consumption rates associated with each predefined Runtime, please visit our Pricing page. You can easily purchase additional credits and track your credit usage within the SaaS and JupyterLab.
