Cloud network agents

 
Has the price for usage of cloud agents increased? I just ran a quick test optimisation with the cloud network. I was running the test for about a minute and it cost me 7$. In the past such a short test would have cost me a few cents. 
 
I doubt it.  As a cloud computing provider, December 2025 provided me the lowest compensation of the last 12 months.  Keep in mind that you are billed not for the total time your test ran for, but for the cumulative computing time it used.  Testing a dozen passes over a minute will be very cheap, whereas an optimization sending 6000 passes to the cloud in parallel with different parameters will cost substantially more, even if the optimization returns in a minute.  You're billed for computing time per individual pass result, not total test time.
