What are SnowPipe cost charging units in context to files queued?

• A. 0.10 credits per 1000 files queued
• B. 0.06 credits per 1000 files queued
• C. 0.06 credits per 100 files
• D. 0.60 credits per 1000 files queued

Answer: (B)

SnowPipe charges are based on the number of files placed in the ingestion queue, billed in credits per 1,000 files queued. The rate is 0.06 credits for every 1,000 files queued, so queuing 5,000 files costs 0.30 credits and 10,000 files costs 0.60 credits. This unit—per 1,000 queued files—keeps the cost proportional to how many files are submitted for ingestion, regardless of how many actually get loaded. The other figures don’t fit because they change the unit (per 100 files) or use a different per-1,000 amount.
