For teams with a warehouse bill
The SQL surface is worth paying for. The compute is not. Run it in your own account, on your own terms, and see it per query.
A large part of a platform bill buys the SQL surface and the operational visibility, not the bytes scanned. The compute is the part you could run yourself, in your account, on spot capacity, metered by the second.

Metering starts at creation and is written per running warehouse, not per credit.
The cost center fuses live meters with Cost Explorer and projects the month against a budget.
Per compute-second, on your own AWS bill, only while a warehouse is running. There are no credits and no per-seat fees.
