What you pay for
Compute bills per second while a container runs, including startup, model loading, and warm idle time. Volumes bill per GiB-month, and API responses and internet egress are metered. Direct downloads through signed object-storage URLs are free. Every charge comes out of one prepaid credit balance, funded by trial credit, subscription credit, and credit you buy. Purchased credit doesn’t expire. Trial and subscription credit expire on their stated dates. Subscription fees bill separately. The Usage page breaks spend down by app and workload. Idle charges come mostly from warm containers and running pods, so shortkeep_warm windows and stopped pods keep
them down. Stored files bill until you delete them.
Automatic reload
Automatic reload charges your saved card when the balance drops to a threshold you choose. A declined payment, or one that needs bank authentication, pauses it until the payment method is updated. Buying credit, reloading, and changing plans all need a saved card. A card alone unlocks your plan’s GPU access and concurrency, but adds no credit.Compute pricing
The pricing page lists base rates for automatic placement on preemptible capacity, metered per second. One CPU is one vCPU. CPU and memory each bill at the greater of the reservation and measured use. GPUs bill per card, on top of the workload’s CPU and memory. Placement choices multiply the base compute rate:
Pinning placement needs a plan that allows it. Storage and transfer rates never
change with placement. Volume storage includes artifacts and prorates over a
30-day month.
On a connected AWS account, AWS bills the machines and LazyCloud charges a
management fee as a percentage of base compute rates. The
pricing catalog has every published
rate and its effective date.
