Then the default 900-second scale-down delay adds about $1.62 per burst, so one burst of that size costs $3.43, nearly double. Billing is per minute of replica time including start-up and idle, and nothing at zero replicas. Rates run from $0.63 an hour for a T4 to $9.98 for a B200, public with no login. Failed boots and image pulls aren't billed, while image builds and model loading are. New workspaces get credits with no card until they run out, at which point models deactivate. Basic is $0 a month, and Pro and Enterprise add volume discounts. Setting `scale_down_delay` lower is the fix. Three because the default idle tail bills as much as the work, and an unsupervised agent will pay it without noticing.

None took a core API down for an hour. The longest inference one was 82 minutes of intermittent 5xx on 0.15 per cent of requests in one US cluster. A 429 from the management API returns `retry_after` and the docs say to back off on it, and a 529 honours Retry-After. Limits are per endpoint, 100 a second, 20 a minute for activate and deactivate, async at 12,000 a minute. The inference error page says which of its 11 codes to retry. No idempotency keys, no SLA below Enterprise, no cold-start figures (the docs say measure your own p50 to p99, and Anchor hasn't). Four. Failure paths are written down, and the missing SLA is the caveat. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.
