How are hours calculated in Multiplayer 2.0? Does for example 5 minutes count as a whole hour?

WIth former multiplayer servers, if I enabled a region just for a quick test and disabled it later, it would count as a whole hour. If I had to run for example 3 tests that required closing server between them, it would consume 3 hours even if the test actually were less than half a hour. is it still like this in Multiplayer 2.0 or are VM hours more forgiving this time?

Also, is the 100 hours free testing tier monthly or "once in a lifetime" meaning that once you consume the 100 hours for your account that's it? Thanks!

Yes, our old server hosting is in AWS, which charges in hour increments, so if you run a server for 5 minutes in that model, it's still an hour.

Our v2 server hosting is in Azure, so we can (and do) calculate charges on a per minute basis. So if you run a server for 5 minutes, that's 1/12th of an hour.

And yes, the evaluation capacity (hours and cores) is per month.
