If I have the Community Plan. Do I get 3000 core hours per year or is it just 3000 core hours total?
Thanks!

Hi @eweber.
In community plan,you are allowed to use a total of 3000 core hours/year. Whether you use it in a month or in a year, it’s upon you. You will get a total of 3000 core hours every year.

Have to correct Hamza here @eweber!
It is actually 3,000 core hours for one time - so it will not be renewed once you used your core hours.
Best,

I thought that community plan is renewable.

Someone has to change this Wiki that says per year, easier to fix than erasing from my brain 😉
