Hello guys, I have a quick question as I’m not able to find the answer or probably I didn’t have a look in the right place. If a job is on-hold waiting for manual approval, does it consumes credits ? Thanks in advanced, Fabs ---

Hello! It does not use any credits. There are no active running containers for an on-hold job, and so no credits are consumed. You can leave workflows `on-hold` indefinitely without worry of additional costs. ---
