There is a usage counter within billing section, but how often does it update? Does it update every hour, minute or day?
So, for eg. if I spin up a droplet now and destroy it after some time, after how much time should I expect to see the usage summary updated?

This question was answered by @zacharybk:
Hey Btr!
Your billing is updated early each morning (UTC time). So if you use a droplet during the day, you’ll see the update 24 hours later!
I hope that helps!
