Budget#

budget#

The most the job may spend, in dollars, across all attempts. Spend is updated every few minutes while the job runs.

When spend reaches the budget:

1. The job stops with status stopped.
2. A budget event is recorded.
3. Checkpoints and outputs are kept.

A job is also rejected at submit time, or marked failed during recovery, if no matching machine's estimated cost fits the remaining budget.

max_price_hr#

Skip machines above this hourly price per GPU. Useful when you want to rule out the most expensive GPUs even when they would finish sooner.

Estimating a budget#

runcompute quote

Take the cheapest est_cost and add some margin for preemptions and underestimated work. 1.3× is a reasonable start.
