Billing - Compute

Compute is prepaid. You add credit, then runs hold and burn that balance.

Rules that are live

Minimum Checkout: $10 (compute credits add 10).
You are billed started minutes while the provider machine exists, rounded up.
A failed boot that never starts the machine is $0.
When the run ends (success, error, cancel, timeout), Compute terminates the machine and writes a receipt.
One receipt line is provider usage. Another is the platform fee.

Rates and fee

List rates (¢/hr) come from compute gpu list. Interruptible Vast.ai SKUs use a locked bid; if the host reclaims the machine, the run ends and you are billed only started minutes plus the platform fee. The platform fee percentage is published on Pricing. This manual does not restate a number so it cannot drift from the site or the biller.

Caps

Per-account spend and two-active-runs limits can refuse a create even when compute credits is positive. Provider availability can also prevent a run. The API error includes a request id — keep it for Support.

Credits and usage mirror the CLI. Checkout still completes in the browser.
