Public cloud – on-demand resource usage fees – what is this charge?

Hello,

On August 1, 2026 I received an email alert about resource usage for a project in Public Cloud (Instance – Virtual Machine Instances). I have had a VMI c2-30 active for many months with a monthly charge of about 620 PLN. Now an email arrived stating that the current resource consumption is at the level of 3000 PLN (after 9 hours into the new month). Have you encountered a similar situation on your accounts, where despite a set monthly payment for the instance, you are additionally charged for resource usage of the same instance?
