I would like to know, do I get additional fee, if I create Droplet and destroy it in 1 hour period?

Actually the site will charge you more than what you use. For example, I just recently destroyed a droplet that had been in use for 371 hours this month and was supposed to incur only a $0.007 hourly rate but they actually charged me at a rate of $0.00744. They really shouldn’t cut it off at three decimals if they are going to charge it at five decimals. Need to be more transparent about the hourly rate.

No, there is no hidden fee. You only pay for what you use.
