If the Design Automation API is priced per CPU hour, how are partial hours charged?
For all premium APIs, fractional Flex token charges are accrued, and only deducted from your account (in integer amounts) when a full CPU hour has been consumed. For example, the Design Automation API for AutoCAD is priced at 2 Flex tokens per processing hour (1 Flex token per 30 processing minutes). If you run a WorkItem that consumes 15 minutes of processing time, you will see no Flex token charge. If you run another WorkItem that consumes 15 minutes of processing time, you will see the charge of 1 Flex token on your account (15 min. + 15 min. = 30 min. = 1 Flex token).
