Which statements are true about billing when you stop an ADB instance? (Choose two)

When you stop an ADB instance, billing for storage continues. This is a key aspect of cloud billing structures where, even though the instance itself is no longer active and consuming compute resources, the storage that holds the data remains intact. Continuous billing for storage ensures that the data is preserved and accessible for future use, allowing users to restart the instance later without data loss.

Billing for CPU, however, stops when the instance is stopped. This indicates that while the instance is not running, there are no charges for CPU usage, which is typical for cloud services since users are only billed for resources consumed during active use.

The option indicating that billing for both CPU and storage continues is inaccurate, as it doesn't account for the fact that CPU usage halts when the instance is stopped. Similarly, the option stating that billing for both CPU and storage stops is also incorrect, since storage incurs charges even when the instance is offline. Thus, recognizing that storage charges persist while CPU charges do not is essential for accurate understanding of ADB's billing practices.
