The docs say billing runs whether or not the GPU is busy, so a forgotten H100 is $95.76 a day (my arithmetic, 24 hours at $3.99), and one 10-hour night is about $40. There's no free tier, invoices are weekly and overdue ones attract 1.5 per cent a month. Filesystems bill per GB-month in hourly increments, but the dossier holds no rate for them and nothing on disk retention after termination, so storage is unchecked. Three, because the rate card is clean and the agent has to be trusted to call terminate itself.

One launch every 12 seconds, or five a minute. Published, which I like. A 429 comes back as `global/rate-limited` with no Retry-After and no backoff guidance, and launch has no idempotency key, so list instances before retrying or a retry can start a second machine. Errors carry `code`, `message`, `suggestion` and `request_id`, and the docs say to branch on `code`. The status page logged ten incidents between 27 July and 23 September 2026. Launches stalled across several regions for about 3 hours on 27 July, us-east-2 lost external networking for about 22 hours on 29 and 30 July, and us-south-2 instances were unreachable from 15 to 17 August. No SLA found. Three. The API fails legibly, and the machines have failed for days. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.
