A single user of a virtual warehouse has set the warehouse to auto-resume and auto-suspend after 10 minutes.
The warehouse is currently suspended and the user performs the following actions:
1. Runs a query that takes 3 minutes to complete
2. Leaves for 15 minutes
3. Returns and runs a query that takes 10 seconds to complete
4. Manually suspends the warehouse as soon as the last query was completed When the user returns, how much billable compute time will have been consumed?
Correct Answer: C
The billable compute time includes the time the warehouse is running queries plus the auto-suspend time after the last query if the warehouse is not manually suspended. In this scenario, the warehouse runs for 3 minutes, suspends after 10 minutes of inactivity, resumes for a 10-second query, and then is manually suspended. The total billable time is the sum of the initial 3 minutes, the 10 minutes of auto-suspend time, and the brief period for the 10-second query, which is rounded up to the next full minute due to Snowflake's billing practices.
