Billing & Pricing

​

GPU Container Instances

​

Pay-as-you-go Model (PAYG)

• Billing Rules:
  • Charges start when the instance is turned on and stop when it is turned off. The fee is calculated as Duration * Unit Price, with the duration measured in seconds and a minimum charge of USD0.01.
  • Billing occurs hourly and at shutdown. The fee covers the usage period, with precise measurement down to the second.
  • Billing starts based on instance on/off time, not GPU usage.

​

Subscription Model (Prepaid)

• Billing Rules:
  • Prepaid: Pay in full at the time of rental.
  • Supports daily, weekly, and monthly rentals.
  • Instance shutdown upon expiration (data remains intact).
  • Renewal options include daily, weekly, and monthly plans. You can also switch to the pay-as-you-go model (see below for details).

​

Switching Billing Model

• Conversion between pay-as-you-go and subscription models is supported. If switching from subscription to pay-as-you-go, a refund is provided based on the following rules:
  • Calculate consumed fees during the subscription period, with the unit price determined by the duration used. For example, if you subscribed for a month but used it for only 8 days, the consumed amount is calculated based on the weekly price (since usage exceeded 7 days).
  • Refund Calculation: The consumed amount is deducted first using any available vouchers, followed by the balance. Any remaining balance is refunded. Note: Vouchers are not refunded if there is a remaining balance.
  • Most Economical Usage: Subscribe for a period, then switch to pay-as-you-go billing for a refund. This ensures more cost-effective pricing.

Elastic Deployment

​

Pay-As-You-Go Billing (Default)

1. Billing Calculation
   • Billing starts when the container is powered on and ends when it is powered off.
   • Total cost = Duration * Unit price
   • Duration = Power-off time - Power-on time (billed per second, minimum charge $0.01 USD)
2. Deduction Package Fees are deducted twice:
   • Every hour on the hour (for the previous hour’s usage)
   • Immediately when the container is shut down. Usage duration is calculated precisely to the second.
3. Important Note
   • Billing is triggered solely by container started / shutdown time, regardless of whether the GPU is actively being utilized.

​

Duration Package Billing

1. When settling a container that used an RTX 5090, the system prioritizes the RTX 5090 Duration Package. (e.g., 1 hour used → 1 hour deducted from the RTX 5090 package, leaving 23 hours, then settlement for this period = $0)
2. When settling a container that used an RTX 4090, since no RTX 4090 Duration Package was purchased, it will be billed according to the default pay-as-you-go rules.
3. Containers using RTX PRO 6000 will consume the corresponding package in the same manner.

​

Duration Package Refund Policy

• If used hours < 24 hours → Calculated at the pay-as-you-go hourly rate
• If used hours ≥ 24 hours → Calculated at the daily package rate
• If usage exceeds one week or one month, the weekly/monthly package rate applies accordingly (using the most favorable longer-duration pricing)

​

Data Disk Expansion

• Billing Unit Price: Varies by host and is displayed on the platform.
• Billing Rules:
  • Pay-as-you-go Instances: Paid data disks are settled daily at midnight, regardless of instance status. To stop billing, reduce the disk size to the free tier or release the instance.
  • Subscription Instances: Paid data disks are included in the total fee and paid upfront. After expiration, billing follows the pay-as-you-go rules (daily settlement at midnight).
  • Account Balance Insufficiency: Data is retained to prioritize billing.
    • If the account owes more than USD50, the platform reserves the right to clean data (with caution).
    • If overcharged due to delayed data cleanup, we will cover the excess with vouchers (e.g., if you owe USD60, contact support for a USD10 voucher; if you owe USD20, the user is responsible).

​

File Storage

​

File Storage (Standard)

• Elastic billing based on actual usage. Free up to 20GB.
• Billing Unit Price: USD0.002/GB/day.
• Billing Rules:
  • Charged based on the maximum daily usage, excluding the free 20GB. Fees are deducted daily at midnight.
  • Minimum Fee: USD0.01 if exceeding the free capacity.
  • Account Balance Insufficiency: Data is retained to prioritize billing.
    • If the account owes more than USD50, the platform reserves the right to clean data (with caution).
    • If overcharged due to delayed data cleanup, we will cover the excess with vouchers (e.g., if you owe USD60, contact support for a USD10 voucher; if you owe USD20, the user is responsible).
• Total Storage Capacity: Default 200GB per user. Contact support for larger capacity.

​

File Storage (HPS)

1. For purchase or renewal: Fee = Capacity (GB) * Duration (months) * Unit Price (USD/GB/day). A 1-day purchase is calculated as 1/30 month.
2. Renewal defaults to the current capacity. You may choose a different capacity (must be ≥ used capacity and ≤ current purchased capacity). The new capacity takes effect immediately, regardless of remaining term.
3. Expansion follows the same billing rules as purchase and renewal.
4. Upon expiration, data is not deleted immediately, but storage will be unmounted. After 7 days overdue, the platform reserves the right to delete the data (we will exercise caution due to data importance).
