Compute Units (CUs) CUs are Whim’s unified billing currency. Every task consumes CUs from two sources: container runtime and AI token usage .
What is a CU? Resource 1 CU ≈ Container runtime 30 minutes at base config (1 vCPU + 1 GB RAM) Input tokens ~14,000 tokens Output tokens ~2,800 tokens USD cost ~$0.044
Higher machine profiles consume CUs proportionally faster.
How CUs Are Calculated Container CU — 1 CU per 30 minutes of active container time. Pausing or sleeping a task stops accrual.Token CU — metered by tokens processed. More expensive models consume CUs faster.Total CU = container CU + token CU.CU Allocation CUs are allocated weekly and reset every 7 days from your subscription anchor:
Plan CU per week Free 50 Pro 100 Max 500 (base, scales with multiplier)
Unused CUs do not roll over. Each week starts fresh.
Warning Thresholds Level Threshold Indicator Normal < 80% used Green Warning 80% used Yellow Critical 90% used Red Depleted 100% used Tasks may be paused
When fully depleted, a grace period lets running tasks finish briefly. You can’t start new tasks until your period resets or you upgrade.
Reserved Machine CUs Warm containers kept ready for instant task starts consume 3 CU per week per reserved machine. Default reserves by plan: Free (3), Pro (5), Max (10). Maximum 20 per tracked branch.
Bonus CU Bonus CU from promotions or credits is tracked separately and used after your regular weekly allocation is consumed.
Usage Dashboard Available in Settings → Usage with a real-time view of your team’s CU consumption.
CU Balance Shows your current allocation, remaining balance, a color-coded progress bar, and the current period window (start/end dates).
