As I go through the web interface to setup a UDM I notice the following: For the same DNS measurement, when I specify an interval of 24 hours between samples, the total daily cost comes to 10. When however I specify this to be a one-off sample, the cost then doubles to 20. This doesn't seem to make sense to me. Is there a special reason for one-off measurements to be twice as expensive? ~paul

Cost for one-off measurements is indeed twice the amount of the regular ones. This is documented at https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/credits/

One-offs are more expensive for the system to execute: they need immediate scheduling and result delivery is done with priority for example, so they cost more. Regards, Robert

Aha, in that case, I would love to see the possibility to request one-off measurements that do not require to be immediately scheduled, and for which result delivery is not done with any priority over periodical ones. Alternatively, I could also just create a regular periodical UDM and specify a stop time in the near future, in order to save credits upon doing measurements that need to be run only once. Trying that gives me an interesting result though: I can't place the stop time within 2 hours of the current time, is that to be expected? ~paul
