Spot price seems to be broken with SkyPilot
Hello,
out of curiosity we started 2xA40 spot instance and I think the price is broken there. Does anyone have any idea what that price comes from? A40 is around 0.35$/h and here for two on spot I see almost 2$ :D. Btw. we are using skypilot :). I also checked on billing page and it appears runpod is actually billing us 1.96$/h

did you bid / set a price using the skypilot?
It appears skypilot has some csv file with set prices, we were able to change that to get better values
