Topic : decimals for resource pricing

Posted By: fhcardoso on March 29, 2021, 3:25 pm

In the documentation there is an example that shows the use of more decimals, but in the interface only step=0.01 is allowed.

I managed to get around by modifying the html and placing 6 decimals.

Ideally, at least 6 decimals should be used for the hourly price.
A VPS for example $5 per month is $0.006944 per hour.

The same problem is when to define the price per resource.
The price of RAM, CPU etc ...

See the attachments;

I modified this validation in the html and managed to update the information to 6 decimals, but I'm not sure if it will correctly calculate the hourly price or if it will round to 0.01

Hi,

We have replied in your ticket and provide few files and now you can add up to 3 decimals.

I also agree since the resources are calculated in 1 GB integrals at hourly integrals. In USD, a 10GB storage would be $7.30/mo when based on the least possible assigned cost $0.001 during a month that has ~730 hours.

Now, we would much prefer to charge our users less for this amount of disk.

I imagine there might be other currencies also, where 3 decimal places is unsuitable.
