> In February, Inference billing usage had been a fixed rate while we added pay-as-you-go billing [support](https://huggingface.co/posts/julien-c/158943939527784). Starting in March, usage now takes into account compute time x price of the hardware. We’re really sorry for any confusion! We have more information about Inference Providers here: [Inference Providers](https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-providers/en/index).
