Neon Cost Performance

Pinned min/max CU (no scale-down)

Part of the Idle compute cost check · fix arrives as a guide

What it is

The compute endpoint has its minimum and maximum compute units pinned to the same value, preventing autoscaling.

Why it matters

You pay the maximum continuously rather than scaling with load. Pinning is usually done to avoid scale-up latency and ends up costing peak rates during every quiet hour.

How to fix it

Set a minimum matching your baseline and a maximum matching your peak, and let autoscaling move between them. Raise the minimum only if cold scaling proves to be a measurable problem.
