How it works

After payment is confirmed, a discount coupon is created and applied to your project for the entire term.
  • Each month, a fixed amount discount applies to your on-demand (hourly) Bare Metal usage.
  • If usage is below your commitment, the discount is capped at actual usage.
  • Usage beyond your commitment is charged at standard rates.
Example: $1,000/month commitment
  • $1,200 usage: $1,000 discount applied, $200 charged.
  • $1,000 usage: $1,000 discount applied, $0 charged.
  • $800 usage: $800 discount applied, $0 charged.
The discount applies only to on-demand (hourly) Bare Metal servers in the savings plans project. Reserved instances, other projects, and taxes are excluded.
