300+% usage on CPU, will I be charged extra?
Hello,
I have an application running that can have a huge CPU demand at times. The CPU usage chart on my dashboard is showing it in excess of 300% at times. I was just wondering, will I be charged extra if my linode is using more than 100% CPU? I just want to be sure before i let me linode continue to consume that much resource. I am using a dedicated, 8GB/4core lindoe, fyi.
Thanks.

Nope - we only charge you for your Linode plan and any extra network transfer usage or other add-ons. Since you're using a Dedicated CPU Linode, you're entitled to use all of your available CPU as you aren't sharing your cores with other Linodes. For a 4-core Dedicated CPU Linode, you can use up to 400% CPU. Feel free to continue your usage!
