The maximum number of credits consumed by the multi-cluster warehouse per full hour of usage depends on

• A. warehouse size
• B. number of clusters
• C. both warehouse size and number of clusters
• D. data volume

Answer: (C)

Credit consumption for a multi-cluster warehouse is driven by compute resources: the size of each cluster and how many clusters are running. Each cluster has a credits-per-hour rate that depends on the chosen warehouse size. In a multi-cluster setup, multiple clusters can operate simultaneously to handle concurrency, so the maximum credits used in a full hour is the per-cluster rate times the number of clusters that are active for that hour. Data volume doesn’t directly affect credits; it’s about how much compute time and capacity you run. So the maximum per-hour consumption depends on both the warehouse size and the number of clusters.
