How do saving plans work?
I don't quite understand how to enable it. Isn't it better to select a saving plan for a given period and you show me how much I need to pay and I would pay it?
It seems you expect me to know how much I need to pay upfront, credit the account with that amount and THEN activate the saving plan.
Right now I would like to pay for 3 months saving plan. How do I proceed? Thanks

Yes that's the way I guess
Create a new pod with the saving plan
Or just create a pod then create saving plan
That doesn't work like that with Community pods. I don't see any saving plans shown to me.
Are saving plans exclusively for "Secure Cloud" only?
Yes, only for secure cloud
I don't see this mentioned in the docs though:
https://docs.runpod.io/pods/savings-plans
Savings plans | RunPod Documentation
Maximize your RunPod experience with Savings Plans, a cost-saving feature that offers upfront discounts on uninterrupted instances, flexible savings, instant activation, easy management, and clear visibility.
@PatrickR probably needs to update the docs to clarify that they are only available for secure cloud.
Screenshots in the docs also need to be updated because the UI has changed.
Updated. Thanks for the ping.
