SnowPro Core Certification — Question 473

If a virtual warehouse runs for 30 seconds after it is provisioned, how many seconds will the customer be billed for?

Answer options

• A. 30 seconds
• B. 60 seconds
• C. 121 seconds
• D. 1 hour

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The customer is billed for a minimum of one minute (60 seconds) when a virtual warehouse is running, regardless of the actual time used. Therefore, even though the warehouse only runs for 30 seconds, the billing starts from the point of provisioning and includes the full minute, making option B the correct answer. Options A, C, and D do not reflect the minimum billing policy for warehouse usage.
