Why do I need a billing alarm?
To stay on top of your GPU usage costs and keep track of your costs to train you can set a certain threshold value. At Genesis Cloud, you pay for the actual instance usage per minute. Once your instances are up and running you should set up a billing alarm. This way you will receive an email as soon as the instance usage has reached a certain amount.
Please note that the billing alarm is an information tool but will not automatically stop your instance once you’ve reached a certain threshold value.
