What is Long-term billing ?


We provide discounted prices for committed use that is pre-paid. If you have a continuous need for our instances, you are able to save up to 50% compared to our on-demand pricing by using our long-term billing options.

How to create a Long-term billed instance ?


  • Simply configure instance as usual and use the right-hand element to select "Long-term" instead of "On-demand". 

  • Upon selecting "Long-term" you are presented with 1, 3, 6, and 12 month options and a break-down of the cost. 


How to manage long-term subscriptions ?


  • Simply navigate: Account > Billing > Long-term Subscription Resources

  • From three dots on the right-hand side of the subscription of interest, select "Stop renewal" to stop the subscription from automatically renewing at Renewal/End Date. This will change the Status from "ACTIVE" to "ENDING". Past subscriptions have the status "ENDED".



Something happened, can I start over?


You are also free to destroy and recreate your long-term billed instances. How this works is that upon destroying the instance, via our UI, you are able to create a new instance based on this Existing subscription.




Please note: Keep in mind that the subscription is for a specific instance type only, so you are not able to pay for 1 GPU of a 2 GPU instance at a long-term price and then for remaining 1 GPU at on-demand price.
