Deployments now show billable duration and CPU minutes
Vercel added billable duration and CPU minute metrics to deployment dashboards, the vc inspect CLI, and its REST API. The new fields break down build and post‑build time, round up to whole minutes, and multiply by vCPU count, letting developers track usage per deployment more precisely.
Vercel introduced specific metrics for billable duration and CPU minutes across its deployment dashboards, command line interface, and REST API. These new fields allow users to see a precise breakdown of build and post-build time. The system rounds the total time up to whole minutes before multiplying it by the vCPU count. Developers can now track usage per deployment with greater precision than before. This transparency helps teams understand exactly how each build contributes to their overall usage costs. The CLI update enables manual verification of these figures for developers who prefer terminal-based inspection. The source does not specify current pricing rates or how these metrics alter existing billing tiers. It remains unclear whether this change affects prior invoices or applies only to new projects. No data was provided regarding potential spikes in cost due to the rounding method.
