We use a simple metric called ByteChip to track our users' computing usage. It's equivalent to one hour of compute on a unit container:
C1 = 1 hour computing on 1 vCPU + 1 GiB
This metric makes it easier to track compute time.
For example, a job using 0.45 vCPU-hours and 0.89 GiB-hours will cost BYC 0.49351461. This would be the cost of running a job for half an hour on a container with 1 vCPU and 1 GiB of memory.
ByteChips charges accumulate in your wallet, allowing you to track total computing hours. Don't worry, dollar amounts are displayed on the billing page and invoices as well, so you can always see how much you're spending.
