## How are Instances billed?
54+
55+
Instances are billed based on their runtime while powered on:
56+
- **CPU Instances**: Billed per hour of uptime (including startup and standby time).
57+
- **GPU Instances**: Billed per minute of uptime (including startup and standby time), except for RENDER-S GPU Instances, which are billed per hour.

<Message type="note">

For Kapsule and Kubernetes users: the underlying Instance in a GPU node pool is billed as soon as it is created, even during the setup phase, before the NVIDIA GPU Operator is fully initialized.

</Message>
62+
63+
Keep in mind that while compute resources follow this usage-based billing model, other resources—such as public IP addresses and storage volumes—are billed for their entire allocation period, regardless of whether the Instance is powered off.
