[R] Run Pods “visual billing glitch”

Runpod support confirmed this is a UI bug where the Spot selector can revert to On-Demand during configuration.

Posting the photos and their confirmation for visibility. If you’ve used Spot pods, you may want to review your billing history.

“Thank you for the detailed follow-up, and for sharing the screen recording, it made it much easier to pinpoint what you are seeing.

I was able to reproduce the behavior on my side. During pod configuration, the UI can briefly flip the pricing selector back to On-Demand for a moment after certain changes, even when Spot is still the intended selection.

The important point is that this appears to be a visual or state display glitch only. When watching the actual price value shown in the UI, the hourly rate remains at the Spot price and does not switch to the On-Demand rate during that brief flicker. In other words, the pricing mode label can momentarily display On-Demand, but the effective price shown remains Spot, which indicates the underlying selection being sent through the flow is staying Spot.

Regards,

My balance and visual confirmation of the pricing says otherwise… seems like a race condition.
