Billing & Charge
Q: How is the Cybree Instance monthly usage calculated?
Cybree provides Pay as You Go service. All the resources are hourly priced with a monthly price cap, so your instance bill will never exceed its monthly price cap.
Regardless of the month, Cybree calculates the hourly price based on the monthly cap divided by 672 hours (or 4 weeks).
For example, for Instance XS 1C1G:
- The price per month is $5 USD/Month.
- The price per hour is $5 USD / 672 hours = $0.00744USD/Hour.
The usage depends on the number of hours the instance has been running over this month and is rounded up to the nearest hour.
