The discussion is about clarifying the billing details and how pipeline minutes and services affect the cost of the Starter Pack web server plan

1

Hello,

I am currently running my background worker on the Starter Pack, but I don’t fully understand the billing structure. Could you please clarify it for me, especially regarding pipeline minutes and services?

I subscribed to the Starter Pack under the impression that it would cost $7 per month with no hidden fees. I would really appreciate a clear explanation of how pipeline minutes are calculated and how they impact the billing. The server is running with constant traffic, and based on the metrics in my dashboard, the usage is well within limits CPU never exceeds 0.5 and memory stays below 512 MB.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

I think I’ve responded to your support ticket about this, I think.

Pipeline minutes are used by the build pipeline, primarily in the build stage, you can read about this at Build Pipeline – Render Docs

The Hobby workspace plan gets 500 minutes per month, after which you can edit your build spend limit to allow additional blocks of build minutes to be purchased should you run out of minutes.
