Billing & your ledger
Understand fixed terms, volume discounts, option charges, renewals and the balance shown in your ledger.
4 min read · UpdatedFixed terms, not hourly metering
A week is seven days and a month is thirty days. The total is charged from the USD balance when the deployment is accepted. Stopping an instance does not pause the term. Releasing an instance does not automatically refund unused time.
The node discount is 0% for one card, 5% for two, 8% for four and 10% for eight. The GPU subtotal is rounded to the nearest whole dollar after applying the discount. Selected options are added once per node and term, without the volume discount.
Know what is included
GPU allocation and selected options appear separately in the configuration summary. NVMe, IPv4, bandwidth and private VLAN options have their own weekly and monthly prices. The final quote is recalculated on the server before deployment.
Your instance stores the accepted total, including options. Manual and automatic renewal use that stored price for the same term; a later catalog change does not silently change that instance’s renewal charge.

The balance is the sum of your ledger entries, stored as integer USD cents. A deposit is positive; deployment, renewal and withdrawal reservations are negative. The billing screen shows the latest 100 entries while the balance uses the complete history.
Entries are append-only. Retrying the same confirmed demo deposit does not credit it twice. Deployment, renewal and withdrawal API requests use an Idempotency-Key so a retry can refer to the same operation.
