In one line

Jobs, crawlers and sessions rent DPUs by the second. The Data Catalog bills objects and requests.

What gets missed

Crawler runs carry a ten-minute minimum, so crawling every five minutes bills continuously. ETL jobs have a one-minute minimum. Over-provisioned DPUs cost the same idle as busy.
