Does a queued databricks job incur cost?

Hi @qwerty3 ,

No, it does not. When a job is queued (waiting for an available cluster or resources), there is no compute usage, so no charges are incurred for Databricks units (DBUs) or cloud infrastructure (VMs). 
The queued state is essentially a waiting state for the job to be allocated resources to run, and no compute resources are being used during this period.
