Important

Cloud resources are payable.

Instances launched from LoadComplete will be running until you terminate them manually or until LoadComplete terminates them at the end of the test run (see Terminating Cloud Instances). You will be charged for the time during which your instances were running.

We recommend that you check that all your cloud instances are shut down after you no longer need them.
