Hi there, I can probably find this information somewhere on the AWS site, but you may have been confronted by this question yourself and have an answer easily: Is it “dangerous” to keep

npx sst start

running for long periods of time, like overnight? Will the websocket traffic or even the connection count toward the Free Tier usage? Or the other way around: Should I end my debug session without delay? 🙏

Will the websocket traffic or even the connection count toward the Free Tier usage?

I think WebSocket APIs only have a free tier for the first 12 months. It includes 1m requests and 750,000 connection minutes. When idle,

sst start

sends 1 keep alive call every minute. So if you have

sst start

running for the ENTIRE MONTH, it will consume 43k requests and 43k connection minutes. That’s within the free tier. After the free tier, it costs ~5cents?

Thanks Frank, for the clarification! 🙂 Very reassuring 😅
