In one line

QPU work bills per task and then again per shot; simulators bill per minute of execution.

What gets missed

Shots dominate: one task with ten thousand shots is ten thousand shot charges, and IonQ error mitigation forces a 2,500-shot minimum. Hybrid jobs keep billing the classical instance while quantum tasks sit in the queue.
