Hour banks

#Buying

A block is 1,000 GPU hours for 3,090 USD. Buy in the console under Bank, or ask for an invoice for five blocks or more. A block is usable the moment payment clears and lasts 120 days.

#Spending

Run a job with plan: "bank". It draws GPU seconds from your oldest block first, so nothing expires while newer hours sit unused. Bank jobs queue alongside Strike, never behind it.

#Running out

If the bank empties during a job, the job keeps running and the rest is billed at the Strike rate. To stop instead, set overflow: "stop" on the job. Team owners get an email when the balance falls under 20 %.

#Expiry

Hours left in a block after 120 days are gone. Fourteen days before, the console and an email show what is about to expire. Hours lost to a hardware result go back into the block they came from.
