A test run consumes **1 credit per load generator per minute**.

{{< alert info >}}
Credit consumption includes simulation initialization time.
{{< /alert >}}

**Once all load generators are deployed, credits are consumed every minute until the execution ends.** 

_The first minute is not charged again, as it has already been accounted for._

{{< alert warning >}}
[Private Deployment]({{< ref "/reference/deploy/private-locations/introduction" >}}) and [Building From Sources]({{< ref "/reference/deploy/private-locations/build-from-git" >}}) are not charged.

If either fails, however, the equivalent of one minute of execution time is charged.
