WIll i get charged entire month if create and delete instance after an hour
I'm trying to test an autoscaling linode cluster. If I spin up 100 linode instances, and then delete them within a few hours. Will I get charged for the whole month?

With hourly billing, you only get charged for the time that you have an active Linode on your account. It'll still be billed if your Linode is powered off, as Linode reserves resources for the Linode regardless if it's running or not.
If you have a 4GB Linode up for 3 hours, invoiced at a rate of $.03/hour, you'll be invoiced for $.09.
The link that Woet linked goes into more details on this. For more information about the hourly prices, you can find that on the Cloud Server Plans and Pricing page.
