I'm having a hard time understanding what "X machines every 10 minutes" means. Our jobs are long-lived and tend to be launched simultaneously in a pipeline. For example, we have this pipeline where 8 jobs will launch at once but then 6 of those will complete in ~45 minutes and then the other two take around ~90 minutes. Is the quota represented as an amount of nodes per 10 minutes or an absolute cap on the concurrent nodes ? I think a cap on the concurrent nodes would make more sense ? i.e, a tenant would not be able to request more than 30 nodes. If he requests a node and the tenant already has 30 active nodes, the request is refused with an error similar to the one we bump into when duffy is out of inventory.
