Credits
The usage of Remote Kernels is based on a credit consumption model. When you open an account, you begin with a set of free credits to get you started. Credits are consumed while remote kernels are running.
You can easily purchase additional credits and track your credit usage through the Datalayer usage tab when logged in.
You can also find a comprehensive dashboard and table history of your credit consumption.
When launching a remote kernel, you are required to specify a time reservation value (see Kernels). This value represents the maximum amount of time the kernel can run and this immediatly will be deducted from your credits. If the kernel is terminated before the time reservation is fully utilized, the remaining credits will be automatically added back to your account.
