Credits and billing
Introduction
One credit equals 1,000,000 microcredits. The console displays 1000 credits = $1 (USD = microcredits / 1,000,000,000). Settlement always uses server integer microcredits, never floating-point USD.
- A quote does not reserve credits; submitting an execution holds a reservation.
- A successful task settles by the actual usage; a definite failure releases the reservation.
- New customer totals round up to a whole credit, with a minimum of one credit.
- Missing or contradictory usage keeps the reservation for reconciliation rather than assuming zero cost.
