Explanation

Google Cloud Compute Engine automatically applies Sustained Use Discounts (SUDs) when a VM runs for a significant portion of the billing month (25% or more). No action, commitment, or configuration is required-Google applies the discount incrementally as usage increases throughout the month. Preemptible/spot instances offer discounts but are subject to interruption and require deliberate selection. Committing to one or three years describes Committed Use Discounts (CUDs), which are a separate, different discount program.
