Azure Batch Service billing

Hi, I have several questions about Azure Batch Service billing.

  • Is there any way to get a price for VM I want to create, programmatically, through Azure SDK?
  • The price for VM I want is 5$ per hour. If I'll remove VM after 20 minutes of using it, what price I'll need to pay? Per hour or per 20 minutes?
  • And when I'll need to pay that price? At the end of the month or after removing VM?

Thanks.

    Regarding #2:

    VMs (compute capacities) are charged per second.
    You example: 5$ x 20 minutes (1/3 hours) = 1,67$

    Regarding #3:
    You will be charged at the end of the billing period.
