topic Re: If I use cluster pools, am I charged for the machines in the pool that are not in active use? in Administration & Architecture https://community.databricks.com/t5/administration-architecture/if-i-use-cluster-pools-am-i-charged-for-the-machines-in-the-pool/m-p/24201#M132 <P>Databricks only charges for compute time while machines are being used. If a machine is on "IDLE" then Databricks does not charge you for those machines. The cloud providers will charge you for the machines that are running regardless if they are IDLE within Databricks because they are technically still running in the cloud subscription. </P> Fri, 18 Jun 2021 21:19:55 GMT Ryan_Chynoweth 2021-06-18T21:19:55Z If I use cluster pools, am I charged for the machines in the pool that are not in active use? https://community.databricks.com/t5/administration-architecture/if-i-use-cluster-pools-am-i-charged-for-the-machines-in-the-pool/m-p/24200#M131 Thu, 20 Mar 2025 16:27:01 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/administration-architecture/if-i-use-cluster-pools-am-i-charged-for-the-machines-in-the-pool/m-p/24200#M131 User16826992666 2025-03-20T16:27:01Z Re: If I use cluster pools, am I charged for the machines in the pool that are not in active use? https://community.databricks.com/t5/administration-architecture/if-i-use-cluster-pools-am-i-charged-for-the-machines-in-the-pool/m-p/24201#M132 <P>Databricks only charges for compute time while machines are being used.
