Commitment
Answer in brief
A commitment is a promise to pay for a GPU for a fixed term in return for a lower hourly rate.
Commitment in practice
Every hour of the term is billed, used or not. A commitment pays off when you use most of those hours.
Terms run from a month to several years. Runcrate offers a prepaid machine for 1 to 12 months at a discount.
