Billing and Limits
Every JetBrains Space subscription plan includes a certain amount of Computation credits. The allocated amount is not dependent on the number of members in the organization. The credits are spent when you run your Automation scripts. How much credits are spent depends on the run environment:
- Billing of containers in Space Automation Cloud
- Billing of self-hosted workers
- Billing of Space cloud workers
Each month your amount of Computation credits is restored. The amount of Computation credits left in the current month is shown on the Administration → Billing & Plans → Computation Credits bar.
Billing of containers in Space Automation Cloud
One Computation credit is equivalent to one minute of work of a container with default resources: 2 vCPUs and 7800 MB of memory.
The usage is calculated based not on actual usage but based on the resources allocated for a certain container. For example, you use a container with cpu = 0.5.cpu and memory = 3900.mb. Such a container will cost you 0.5 Computation credits per minute: Though it consumes 0.5 vCPU (0.5 / 2 = 0.25 Computation credits per minute), it also consumes 3900 MB of memory (3900 / 7800 = 0.5 Computation credits per minute). The larger value is taken into account: 0.5 Computation credits per minute.
Here is the calculation for containers with minimal, default, and maximal resources.
Resources | CPU | Memory | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
Min | 0.5 vCPU | 256 MB or less | 0.09 Computation credits per minute 10000 Computation credits = approx. 1852 hours = 2.57 containers can work nonstop within a month |
Default | 2 vCPU | 7800 MB | 1 Computation credit per minute 10000 Computation credits = approx. 166 hours = one container can work 8 hours a day for 20 days |
Max | 8 vCPU | 31.2 GB | 4 Computation credits per minute 10000 Computation credits = approx. 41.5 hours = one container can work 8 hours a day for 5 days |
File share limits
The file share has the following limitations:
The file share size is limited to 2 GB within a job. Learn more
The file share monthly traffic limit is 200 GB for all subscription plans. Learn more
Limitations of the Free plan
As a response to the increasing attempts to use Space Automation for cryptomining, we have introduced additional limitations for the Free subscription plan:
The maximum available resources for a container: 4 vCPU, 15600 MB.
The maximum allowed number of concurrently running steps on the Free plan is 20. This limit is applied to the entire organization.
For example, let's assume that at the moment Automation runs 10 steps: These can be 10 jobs with a single step, one job with 10 steps inside the
parallelblock, or some other combination. At the same time, a job with 11 parallel steps is triggered. Automation will not run this job, because in this case the number of concurrently running steps would exceed 20.
When does container start working
Running a job implies some additional activities: running helper containers, mounting a volume to a container, and cloning the project repository to this volume. Automation starts to withdraw Computation credits from your balance at the moment when cloning of the repository is started. The work of additional helper containers is not taken into account.
Billing of self-hosted workers
Automation lets you run scripts not only in the Space Automation Cloud but also on your own hardware. You can do this with the help of self-hosted workers. Billing of self-hosted workers depends on your subscription plan:
Plan | Cost |
|---|---|
Free and Team | 0.5 Computation credits per one minute of actual usage of a self-hosted worker |
Organization and Enterprise | 0.25 Computation credits per one minute of actual usage of a self-hosted worker |
Billing of Space cloud workers
Space cloud workers are billed based on the worker instance type. One Computation credit is equivalent to one minute of work of a regular virtual machine: 2 vCPUs and 7800 MB of memory.
Currently, there are two instance types available:
Instance | CPU | Memory | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
Regular | 2 vCPU | 7800 MB | 1 Computation credit per minute 10000 Computation credits = approx. 166 hours = one worker can work 8 hours a day for 20 days |
Large | 4 vCPU | 15.6 GB | 2 Computation credits per minute 10000 Computation credits = approx. 83 hours = one worker can work 8 hours a day for 10 days |
Extra large | 8 vCPU | 31.2 GB | 4 Computation credits per minute 10000 Computation credits = approx. 41.5 hours = one worker can work 8 hours a day for 5 days |
What happens when you spend all of your Computation credits
Each subscription plan includes not only a certain amount of Computation credits but also a certain amount of so-called Reserve credits – your safety stock of Computation credits. After you spend all monthly Computation credits, Automation will disable automatic job triggers in all repositories (for example, by 'git push'). After this, you can trigger an Automation job only by manually running it on the Automation page. Reserve credits will be used to pay for this job run.
After you spend all of the Reserve credits, Automation will be disabled. The only option to enable it back is to buy additional Computation credits.
