Nice, all CI should be per minute.

Bitbucket Pipelines charges per minute as well: https://bitbucket.org/product/features/pipelines

Why? I'd have thought CI is a place where per-second billing would be an advantage? A CI job is likely to take somewhere between 1 and 15 minutes, per second billing could be a significant saving for many users.

GCB prices are described in terms of dollars-per-minute, but are actually calculated per-second.

The price is actually $0.00005/second. :)

disclosure: I'm an engineer on the GCB team

Sure that would be great, but the state of the art is actually worse. Some providers charge by concurrency limit, which means you're always paying for peak capacity.

Oh really?

I never really considered that. Perhaps it'd be profitable to actually use that capacity for something when it's idle...
