Limits and Pricing for Render Workflows

Render bills for the following components of workflows:

Task runs can also contribute to your workspace's usage of outbound bandwidth.

Instance types (compute specs)

Your workflow task runs execute on one of the following instance types:

• Billing for compute usage is prorated by the second.
  • If a task run executes on the standard instance type for half an hour, Render bills you $0.10, not $0.20.
• You can specify which instance type to use for each task you define. Learn how.

Larger instances

If you need to handle more resource-intensive workloads, you can request access to the following larger instance types for your workspace:

Concurrent task runs

Render limits the total number of task runs that can execute concurrently in a single workspace, based on the workspace's plan:

• Base concurrency: The number of concurrent runs your plan allows if you purchase no additional concurrency.
• Max concurrency: The number of concurrent runs your plan allows if you purchase the maximum amount of additional concurrency.

Whenever you trigger a run when your workspace is at its concurrency limit, Render queues the run to execute after another run completes.

This concurrency limit is workspace-wide.

Creating multiple workflow services in a workspace does not increase this limit.

Increasing concurrency

You can increase the max number of concurrent runs allowed for your workspace by purchasing additional concurrency in the Render Dashboard.

Billing details

• You can add concurrency in multiples of 5 additional runs.
• Concurrency is billed monthly at $0.20 per additional run.
  • In other words, the smallest possible increase is 5 additional runs for $1.00 per month.
• Billing for concurrency is prorated by the second.
  • If you increase your concurrency by 5 additional runs halfway through a month, you're billed an additional $0.50 that month, not $1.00.
• Render bills for concurrency regardless of whether you trigger enough concurrent runs to use it.

Steps to increase concurrency

1. Open your workspace's Settings page and scroll down to the Workflows section:

   

2. Under Added concurrency, click Edit and specify a number of concurrent runs to add.

3. Verify the amount of your additional monthly cost and click Save changes.
