i only used it for the extra processing power but now ive paid $55 for one month. the usage is fine but the extra seat plan for users is a lot considering its $20USD and I live in canada, with conversing im paying close to double. I'm not even using it as a team which I don't need all this user seats stuff. All i need is extra processing power. is there any compromises?

When you say all you need is extra processing power, what do you mean? The resources that are unlocked through pro are 32vCPU, 32GB RAM and 100GB storage. If you can live without all of those, then you can head back down to hobby

As a fellow Canadian, I do feel your pain, but the conversion isn’t even close to double lol. Right now CAD is 1.35x USD
I’m just saying in general it gets expensive when I’m not actually a team and I’m aimlessly paying $25 extra dollars a month
I need fast servers as I’m running a server that downloading and uploading files then signing them fairly often

the actual hardware does not differ from hobby to pro, its just more of it.
unless you are hitting the limits of the hobby resources and arent running a pro workload, then you dont need pro

Brody beat me to it, but that also doesn’t sound like a latency-sensitive operation. You could downgrade to hobby and implement a queue system to spread out your computation if you start to hit limits
for signing a file at 100mb now it takes 3 minutes to complete its processes on hobby when it originally just took 30 seconds or so

both the hobby and pro plans run the workloads on the same processors at the same clock speed

^ unless you were using more than 8vCPU on Pro, being on Hobby shouldn’t make a difference

Mind sending a screenshot of your metrics? Both for pro and hobby if you have them

No need, you’re hardly using any resources

There’s no need to be on the Pro plan for this workload

might be worth running an actual test suite on it. Upload 100 or so files to both and average the times

Though you shouldn’t see a difference
