rembManage 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.
Point-In-Time Recovery add-on is not covered by the Spend Cap.
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.
