How does storage billing work for serverless endpoints?
I found this article here https://docs.runpod.io/references/faq#how-does-storage-billing-work
But it doesn't mention anything about how endpoints/workers/containers are billed for their storage. Of course network volumes are obvious, because they are separate storage instances.
Say I have an endpoint that has 20GB provisioned for the container disk. How much will I be billed for this? Is it a flat fee regardless of number of workers? Or is it per worker? Where is the pricing listed?

.02 per month per gb I think

@nerdylive Yes that's the article I linked. I did see this already. My question is really: is this per worker? Per endpoint? During worker operation?
It's not clear
Hmm per gb
Per gbs allocated on your worker, pods
Worker = 1 pod, they don't share storage that's why every worker pulls your image
Imagine it that way
So say you got 2 active workers for a mo. With 5gbs in endpoint so 0.1 *2
* 5gb
That's Howmuch it would cost you
huh
Not sure I follow your post.... formatting issues perhaps?
But I guess I understand the gist, it's by worker at the price of Pod storage pricing, correct?
But complicated because workers are not always active.
So $0.10/GB-month while active and $0.20/GB-month while not active?
Yeah sorry I wrote it on 2 different messages hahah
Yes but I think serverless is never inactive
So only while active
But pods are different, they can be charge when they're inactive if you stop it ( for volume disk )
Okay so $0.10/GB-month?
So an example: our endpoint needs 20GB container disk. If we have 10 workers that would be:
20GB container disk * 10 workers * $0.10/GB-month = $20/month
?
If they're active for the whole months
yes
What do you mean active? Not idle?
you can try to count them to, per sec if im not wrong, try reaching out support on the website to make sure of this
active = running state
when its green
What about when they are idle?
No cost?
Yes i think it doesn't charge you for inactive disk cost
only for pods with no network storage do
oh srry Storage is charged per minute listed there
Should I just write support?
For example, if it's $0.10/GBmonth and applied to serverless active time (assuming per second)
that would be ~$0.000000038580247/s per GB
Sure yes
