Have I to pay for rootfs of stopped remote builders?

Hello everyone,

after the last deploy fly.io has created a remote builder. I don’t know what was different this time, otherwise I didn’t have this.

What about the rootfs of this remote builder now, do I have to pay for it in the future if the remote builder is stopped? Otherwise I would delete the corresponding app after each deploy to minimize the costs.

How would you do it?

Thanks and regards
JN

Builders are free! We even removed them from the stopped machine usage page to prevent confusion.

But your feedback tells me we need to do better at telling this on our dashboard :smile:

Since they are free and provisioned automatically, have you considered omitting them from the dashboard entirely? It caused me more confusion than benefit.

That’s one point we’ve been thinking of. On one hand its cool to show that it’ll all things on our infra that just work, on the other hand its confusing on first seeing.

Appreciate your feedback!
