An H100 is $3.95 an hour ($0.001097 a second), so 1,000 one-second calls on a warm H100 cost about $1.10, plus the 60-second default scaledown window after each burst, roughly $0.07 more. T4 is $0.59, A100 80 GB $2.50 and B200 $6.25 an hour. Starter includes $30 of compute every month and caps you at 10 concurrent GPUs, which at H100 rates bounds the burn near $39.50 an hour. Region pinning multiplies prices by 1.15 to 1.75. The pricing page doesn't say whether the free credit needs a card. Web endpoints are public until proxy auth is added, and a public endpoint runs on your meter. Four, because the meter stops at zero, with the open endpoints and the unstated card rule as the caveats.

Dashboard and Sandboxes were out for 14 minutes on 16 September. Volume reads ran elevated errors for about two hours on 4 September, marked degraded. Function latency lasted 11 minutes on 26 August and slow `.spawn()` calls about 15 minutes on 19 August. Web endpoints are rate limited to 200 requests a second with a 5-second burst, and plans cap concurrent GPUs at 10 on Starter and 50 on Team. No Retry-After or 429 guidance turned up for web endpoints. Functions have a documented retry policy that the research run didn't re-read, so I'm leaving it unscored. No SLA on the pricing page. The vendor says containers boot in about a second, and Anchor hasn't measured it. Four. The record is short, and the 429 behaviour is the open question.
