The three hourly meters add up. A running sandbox pays the sandbox-hour charge
whatever it is doing, plus whatever CPU and memory it actually uses.
Active CPU, not wall-clock. A sandbox that waits for an LLM response uses
almost no CPU, so beyond the sandbox-hour it costs mostly its memory. A sandbox
with 2 vCPU busy at 20% is billed 0.4 vCPU-hours per hour.
Running means sampled running, so a quarter of an hour is a quarter of a
sandbox-hour.
Paused costs only storage. A paused sandbox pays no sandbox-hour, CPU or
memory charge; you pay for its snapshot until you resume or delete it.
Examples
Per hour, for a sandbox with 2 vCPU and 4 GiB:
The free plan has the same rates with $5 of included credit and the
free plan limits. The credential vault is included at no
charge.
