Cost & Capacity Planning
How do retries and long waits change my agent workload’s spend profile?
Adjusting retries and long wait times directly shifts your agent workload’s spend profile. The primary cost drivers are execution layer calls and model inference usage; retries incur repeated execution and inference charges, while extended waits prolong execution layer resource time, so tracking both execution events and model call volume metrics lets you accurately map spend. Note that durable execution does not eliminate retries, only ensures consistent handling without duplicates.
