Revision history [back]

In Redshift serverless, charged_seconds refers to the amount of time that your cluster has been running and for which you will be billed. It includes both the time that the cluster is actively running queries and the time that it is idle but still consuming resources.

Compute_seconds, on the other hand, refers specifically to the time when your cluster was actively running queries or performing other compute-intensive tasks. It does not include idle time.

In summary, chargedseconds includes both active and idle time, while computeseconds only includes active time.
