pricingWhen does CPU-hour pricing save money for AI agents?https://upstash.com/blog/ai-sandbox-pricing-active-cpu-vs-wall-clock
pricingCPU-hour pricing saves money when an agent spends long stretches waiting, because waiting adds no CPU charge. Memory and other charges may still add up. The model runs on the LLM provider's servers, so the sandbox sits idle while the model thinks. When the model asks for a tool call, the sandbox runs code for a few seconds. Then it waits again, for the next model reply, an API response, or a person to answer. On active CPU billing, time spent waiting on network requests or AI model calls doesn't count.https://upstash.com/blog/ai-sandbox-pricing-active-cpu-vs-wall-clock
