Execution time dimensioning
Just to be sure, if I make an API call to a third party API and wait, say, 10 minutes and then do an API get query, will I be charged for 10+ minutes of execution time or what exactly counts towards the execution time?

AI Response
Execution time charges for an API call generally depend on the duration the server is actively processing your request. In the case of BuildShip or similar services, you are typically charged for the time your workflow is actively running and utilizing compute resources. Here's a breakdown:
1. Active Runtime: The time during which the workflow or any of its nodes are actively running calculations, calls, or processing data.
2. Idle/Wait Time: If your workflow is waiting (i.e., idle) while awaiting a response from a third-party API, generally, you are not charged for that idle time, although this can vary by provider.
3. Total Wall Time: Some services might consider total execution time from start to finish, but BuildShip, similar to many cloud services, primarily charges for the active CPU/memory runtime, not including idle/wait periods.
To get exact details on how BuildShip handles billing in such scenarios, it would be best to review their pricing documentation or reach out to BuildShip support for comprehensive insights .
