I would guess he more or less halved the price if you suppose at any minute 70% of the pods are idle, but they still consume > 0 resources, and the price per vcpu didn't change, like he said. Then you also have the overhead of running the Kubernetes processes which is cut to about 1/100th lowering the price further. Not real numbers, but gives you an idea.
