Powered off does not mean unbilled.

GPU availability varies by region. Pricing FAQ and billing docs disagree about the minimum billing period.

Destroy the GPU Droplet to end compute billing; check any separately retained resources. The catalogue flags conflicting minimum-billing documentation instead of silently choosing one version.
