Does Using Connect Only Consume Pipedream Credits?

Hi Team, 1 question. If I predominantly use connect only and never use workflow, does connect consume Pipedream credits?

Hey , this section here will answer your question. I’m pasting it below

How credits work in Connect
API operations that consume credits (1 credit per 30 seconds of compute time):
• Action executions
• Tool calls via MCP
• Source execution for deployed triggers
• Requests to the Connect proxy
API operations that do not consume credits:
• Listing apps, actions, and triggers
• Listing accounts
• Configuring actions and triggers
• Other management operations

Thank . Just a clarification. If an action execution takes 1 second for connect, then using 1 credit I can invoke 30 actions?

1 credit means 30 seconds of compute time.

If you have 5 actions that executed in 30 seconds, then it takes 1 credit.

Not quite — every action execution in Connect takes 1 credit per 30 seconds of compute.

, can you please provide some example calculations?
