SnowPro Core Certification — Question 927

A Snowflake user runs a query for 36 seconds on a size 2XL virtual warehouse.

What would be the credit consumption?

Answer options

• A. Snowflake will charge for 36 seconds at the rate of 32 credits per hour.
• B. Snowflake will charge for 36 seconds at the rate of 64 credits per hour.
• C. Snowflake will charge for 60 seconds at the rate of 32 credits per hour.
• D. Snowflake will charge for 60 seconds at the rate of 64 credits per hour.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Snowflake charges based on a minimum of 60 seconds for any query, and for a size 2XL virtual warehouse, the rate is 32 credits per hour. Options A and B incorrectly calculate the charge based on 36 seconds instead of the minimum 60 seconds, while option D uses the wrong credit rate.
