Estimating FLAME costs

Hello -

I have an endpoint that kicks off a process that spawns multiple FLAME nodes. I’m wondering if I can just get some guidance on how to estimate the costs per request.

I know I can look at the per-second pricing for the machines. I think my main questions after that would be:

  1. Is there any log or record of FLAME nodes that got spun up, and how long they were active for?
  2. Do we get charged for the time when the FLAME node is booting etc?
  3. Do we get charged for the total time the FLAME node is alive, even when it’s not processing requests? (99% sure the answer is yes, just covering bases)

Thank you!
