I can’t seem to find an answer to this question, but let’s say I want to do the following (assume a start time of 10:00 a.m.):
- Start up a droplet based on a snapshot.
- Run the droplet for a couple of minutes.
- Destroy the droplet.
- Five minutes later repeat steps 1-3.
- Fifteen minutes later repeat steps 1-3.
- Two hours later repeat steps 1-3.
What will be charged? $0.014 or $0.021?
