Manage Point-in-Time Recovery usage
What you are charged for
You can configure Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) for a project by enabling the PITR add-on. You are charged for every enabled PITR add-on across your projects.
How charges are calculated
PITR is charged by the hour, meaning you are charged for the exact number of hours that PITR is active for a project. If PITR is active for part of an hour, you are still charged for the full hour.
Example
Your billing cycle runs from January 1 to January 31. On January 10 at 4:30 PM, you activate PITR for your project. At the end of the billing cycle you are billed for 512 hours.
| Time Window | PITR Activated | Hours Billed | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| January 1, 00:00 AM - January 10, 4:00 PM | No | 0 | |
| January 10, 04:00 PM - January 10, 4:30 PM | No | 0 | |
| January 10, 04:30 PM - January 10, 5:00 PM | Yes | 1 | full hour is billed |
| January 10, 05:00 PM - January 31, 23:59 PM | Yes | 511 |
