DLT Serverless costs

I recently started checking out the serverless delta live tables. In my understanding serverless continuous jobs (with autoloader) would only do something when new files arrive. However for serverless 4 pipelines running continuously, I spend in two days almost 2000 euros. Am I doing something wrong? If not, what is the benefit of using serverless continuously against a cheap single node cluster?
