Which statement about billing applies to Snowflake credits?

Question

Options

• ACredits are billed per-minute with a 60-minute minimum
• BCredits are used to pay for cloud data storage usage
• CCredits are consumed based on the number of credits billed for each hour that a warehouse runs
• DCredits are consumed based on the warehouse size and the time the warehouse is running

• A
  6% (2)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  88% (28)

Explanation

Snowflake credits are consumed based on two factors: warehouse size (larger warehouses consume more credits per unit of time) and how long the warehouse is running (billed per second with a 60-second minimum). Option A is wrong because the minimum is 60 seconds, not 60 minutes, and billing is per-second. Option B is wrong because cloud storage costs are billed separately in dollars (per TB), not in credits. Option C is wrong because credits are not billed per hour - they are billed per second of active warehouse use, scaled by warehouse size.
