Billable Minute

A billable minute is a unit charged under a provider's billing rules, which may include rounding, minimums, or specified lifecycle intervals. It can differ from the exact execution time shown in a job log.

Why it matters

Metering rules can change the charged duration of otherwise identical jobs.

Practical example

Inspect rounding and included startup time before estimating the cost of many short jobs.
