Frequently asked

How is Thunder Compute billing measured?
Most providers bill per-second once the instance is running, with a small minimum (often 60 seconds). Some first-party clouds round up to the minute. Headline $/hr is the right comparison unit.
Which regions does Thunder Compute offer GPUs in?
P2P marketplaces aggregate hosts worldwide so region varies per offer. First-party clouds and hyperscalers expose explicit region pickers (US, EU, APAC). Filter on the provider's site after clicking through if region matters.
Does Thunder Compute offer an SLA?
Hyperscalers (AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle) publish formal SLAs. First-party clouds (Lambda, CoreWeave) offer support contracts. P2P marketplaces and decentralized networks have no SLA — uptime depends on the individual host.
What's the refund / cancellation policy on Thunder Compute?
Per-second billing means you only pay for compute used — stop the instance and billing stops. Pre-paid credits and committed-use discounts have provider-specific terms; check the provider's billing docs before pre-paying.
