## Caveats

- Free 5 concurrent 2CPU/8GB sessions, 2 projects, card required but no charge. Pro $99/seat monthly or $82.50/seat with annual commitment, credits/limits not quantified. Enterprise annual custom. Free 2-CPU offer cannot satisfy 4-CPU workload; no public unit rate.
- Null values mean unknown, not free/unlimited. No model-token cost, tax or unverified ancillary charge included.
- Native browser/device/task/credit prices with unknown CPU/RAM are deliberately non-priceable. Check regime before interpreting any partial resource estimate.
- Hoplite is a coding-agent product: billing is prepaid credits (1 credit = US$1) drawn mainly by LLM tokens at per-model rates. Sandbox compute runs on Modal (default) or Daytona; per-sandbox provider charges appear only when the provider itemizes them, and no Hoplite CPU/RAM unit price is published. Keep the mode flagged alt and unpriced.
- When subscription access expires, new cloud runs are blocked and active cloud runs are cancelled; a run on an empty prepaid balance stalls until credits are added (hard stop, no automatic overage).

## Verified billing facts and gotchas

1. Free 5 concurrent 2CPU/8GB sessions, 2 projects, card required but no charge. Pro $99/seat monthly or $82.50/seat with annual commitment, credits/limits not quantified. Enterprise annual custom. Free 2-CPU offer cannot satisfy 4-CPU workload; no public unit rate.

## Worked example

Requested: 4 vCPU/8 GiB, 50 simultaneous × 8 h/day × 22 days = **8,800 instance-hours**, 30% CPU; 50 GiB snapshots and 100 GiB egress. A month is 730 hours only when explicitly used in rate conversion.

**Total: unknown.** This product does not publish a verified complete 4-vCPU/8-GiB tariff and/or the service bills a different unit. Fifty concurrent instances and eight-hour sessions are not automatically supported. Neither 30% utilization nor retained snapshots can be converted into free resources. Use the native plan terms above and request the missing CPU/RAM, retention, egress and concurrency quote.

Page captures and documentation indexes/bundles are in `raw/`; provider JSON lists the evidence paths. HN query results were captured separately as `<id>--hn.txt`; they are discovery leads, not current tariff authority. Downloaded docs do not imply every feature was verified; unsupported assertions remain null.
