Sustained Use Discount is a time-based discount tied to what?

• A. Volume of data transferred
• B. After the resource has run for a certain amount of time
• C. Total usage across the hour
• D. License term renegotiation

Answer: (B)

Sustained Use Discount is about how long a resource runs during the billing cycle. The discount automatically accrues the longer the resource (for example, a VM) stays active in a given month, so the benefit increases with accumulated run time. It’s a time-based incentive, not tied to data transferred, per-hour usage totals, or license terms.

So the discount is tied to the amount of time the resource has been running, after you reach certain usage thresholds within the month.
