E2E CloudVector Database billing
A Vector Database is billed in three parts: compute, disk and snapshots. For the rates, see E2E’s pricing page, and to estimate a total, use the E2E cost calculator. Charges are added to your account automatically, and Account Usage under Billing & Usage shows them as VectorDB Usage, VectorDB Disk Usage and VectorDB Snapshot Usage; see Analyse usage.
Compute
Section titled “Compute”On E2E Cluster, compute is billed per node, per hour, at the plan’s hourly price. It starts when you create the database and stops when you stop or delete it. Nodes you add by scaling up are charged from the moment you add them.
On a private cluster you pay for the cluster’s nodes, and that covers the database’s compute.
Every node starts with a 30 GB disk that is part of the node’s price. You pay for the disk above 30 GB, per GB per month, for each node, worked out by the hour. At 30 GB per node, the disk is covered by the node’s price. When you resize the disk, the charge follows the new size on every node. Disk charges continue while the database is stopped.
Snapshots
Section titled “Snapshots”A snapshot is charged by its size, for as long as it exists. Delete the snapshots you are done with to stop their charge; see how to delete one.
What stops the charges
Section titled “What stops the charges”| Action | Compute | Disk above 30 GB | Snapshots |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stop the database | Stops | Continues | Continue |
| Delete a snapshot | Unchanged | Unchanged | That snapshot stops |
| Delete the database | Stops | Stops | Deleted with the database |
To stop every charge, delete the database. API calls and data transfer within the same region are included in these charges.
Keeping the bill small
Section titled “Keeping the bill small”- Stop a database while it is idle.
- Start with the disk you need, because a disk only grows.
- Delete the snapshots you have finished with.
- Add nodes only when you need them, because the node count only goes up.
