Question

Pricing for Droplets if used for less than an hour

Hello,

I created a few droplets at the same time thinking that I might need them, but it turned out that I didn’t need them so I deleted them within 10 minutes of creation.

My question here is that would I be charged for one hour for those servers or for the 10 minutes?

Than You

Hi @skumbhare013

You pay a minimum of 1 hour, so if you only use it for 10 minutes, you still pay for 1 hour
