For example if you chose a 1 VCPU & 1 GB RAM orbit, the hourly price is 0.01$ and the monthly price is $4.50.

How does billing work?

We check for the utilization of your paid resources every 24 hours. Depending on your utilization, the money due will be charged against the Credits available on your account.

If the bill calculated based on your utilization in the past 24 hours exceeds the amount of credits available on your account, the account will be considered delinquent and is immediately due for payment. We will process the difference to make your account current and send you a notification. You can now add more credits to your account.
