Clean up unused workspaces and storage volumes to limit credit use. Pause workspaces only if you plan to continue working with it on a short term (workspaces also consume credits for storage). Consider moving data to e.g. Yoda and cleaning up storage volumensvolumes when not using research cloud for a couple of weeks. The UU provides a small starting budget of 10K credits for pilots or small projects, when this budget has been depleted we may provide a one time raise of your wallet of 10K credits if you can complete the project with this raise.

Although ResearchCloud also allows you to [run workspaces in different environment](manuals/creating.qmd#select-cloud-provider) (such as Microsoft's Azure cloud environment), the costs for this will be significantly higher. + ```{shinylive-python} #| standalone: true #| viewerHeight: 600
