Budgets and priority
A budget on GPU Club is a threshold that decides who goes first, not a wall.
priority
Within your budget
Your requests are scheduled first. If everyone in the club is within budget, the card is shared evenly.
spare capacity
Past your budget
Your requests still run whenever the card has spare capacity, at full speed when nobody else is using it. Nothing is refused and nothing is billed extra.
Why not a wall
A hard stop would leave a paid card idle while someone waits. A threshold keeps the card busy and keeps the people who stayed within budget fast.
Density
A denser plan gives you a larger budget on the same card, because fewer people share it. The portal suggests a switch when your usage says so; you decide.
Budget figures are published after our pilot measures them.
