Billing

Overview

Iris bills based on sandbox compute time. Suspended sandboxes do not accrue compute charges.

Key Points

  • Running sandboxes — billed per second of CPU and memory usage
  • Suspended sandboxes — storage only, no compute charges
  • Deleted sandboxes — no charges
  • Checkpoints — billed for storage consumed (copy-on-write means only changed pages count)
  • Forks — billed the same as a new sandbox from the moment of creation

Cost-Saving Tips

  • Suspend idle sandboxes — call sandbox.suspend() when your agent is not actively running. Resume with sandbox.resume() when needed.
  • Kill sandboxes you’re done with — sandbox.kill() stops all charges immediately.
  • Delete old checkpoints — sandbox.checkpoint.delete(id) removes stored state you no longer need.
  • Fork, don’t keep long-lived branches — kill experiment branches after use.
