- Definition
- Service Consumption Table: "One “Compute-Hour” is defined as the computing resources comparable to running an XS Virtual Warehouse for one hour." Resources larger or smaller than an XS Virtual Warehouse adjust the Platform Credit consumption rate accordingly (example: comparable to an S Virtual Warehouse for 30 minutes = one Compute-Hour).
- Counting rules
- Serverless Features are charged by the number of Compute-Hours used. Compute-Hours are calculated per second, rounded up to the nearest whole second. Snowflake-managed compute is billed at one Platform Credit per Compute-Hour multiplied by the Table 5 feature multiplier; some features also incur Cloud Services charges (also multiplied) and Unit Charges, shown as one usage-statement line per feature.
