Hours when CPU is ON are counted. Not actual CPU usage or cycles.

- ww520 15y agoSo it counts idle time. When a process is idle, it doesn't use the CPU, which can be used by other processes. This basically punishes IO/network bound apps and favors CPU-intensive apps. I can see why some of the web apps has 100X cost increase since they spin up a process to handle a web request which can take fair amount of network time but uses very little CPU. The new pricing model is not web-app friendly but favors heavy CPU-intensive backend processing kind of apps.
