## Caveats

- Public credit-metered execution, not per-second CPU/RAM product. One credit covers 60s at 1 CPU+1 GiB; larger matched CPU/RAM sizes scale credits linearly (2 CPU/2 GiB is 2 credits/minute). Separate CPU×RAM multiplication would be wrong.
- Not fully priceable in ENGINE_CARD: unknown USD resource rates or machine shape. Null is not zero; do not rank as a free provider.
- Features set to null were not verified. No sandbox was purchased or tested; feature/performance statements are documentation claims. Null maximums are unknown unless a cited note explicitly states unlimited.
- A complete monthly bill requires known snapshot/egress/plan limits; do not silently treat missing ancillary charges as free.
- Streaming/async output requires Pro. Free: 5 concurrent, 1 custom OCI image, 10 API keys. Concurrency limit returns HTTP 429. One execution per thread_id at a time (409).
- Thread state retention is configurable (24 h, 7 d, 30 d, forever default) and counts toward the 10 GB free storage then $0.10/GB-month.

## Worked workload

4 vCPU / 8 GiB; 50 simultaneous instances × 8 h/day × 22 days = **8,800 instance-hours**, **35,200 vCPU-hours**, **70,400 GiB-hours**. At 30% observed CPU:10,560 active-vCPU-hours only where the meter actually uses utilization. Assume one start/instance/day:1,100starts. Retain50GiB snapshots for a month;100GiB outbound. Active disk capacity was not specified.

Requested 4/8 exceeds Pro maximum RAM4GiB and 8h exceeds 1h execution maximum. Enterprise quote required. Credit arithmetic for an unsupported 4/8 shape is deliberately not invented.
