Using FME Cloud to run a lot of short jobs can be very expensive for the amount time the server is run for.

For instance, if you need to run a translation that takes 5 minutes to run every day, you'd be billed for a lot of server time that isn't used.

AWS recently allowed billing on newer linux in intervals less than an hour. It would make some workflows very affordable on FME Cloud if billing was less than an hour.

Hi. We likely won't implement this for this release of FME Cloud. However, we are looking at various billing options for the next major release of FME Cloud which will also support clouds other than AWS.
