Definition
Lakebase pricing FAQ: customers define the minimum and maximum auto-scaling range in Capacity Units (CUs) and the scale-to-zero timeout for each compute resource; "Billing is based on the number of capacity unit hours used by your workload."
Counting rules
Autoscaling compute is charged per Capacity Unit hour used, and can scale to zero. Always-On instances never scale to zero and carry a minimum usage rate per Capacity Unit hour; usage above the Always-On minimum is charged at Autoscaling rates. Storage is billed separately per GB-month (database, point-in-time restore and snapshots).
Floors / minimums
Always-On instances: minimum usage charged per Capacity Unit hour (USD 0.069 on AWS US East, Premium, at retrieval).
