I'm looking for a low-cost hosting solution for my rust/hyper backend server, and I keep seeing the term 'CPU minutes/seconds'. I know generally that this is a metric of how much CPU an application uses in a given amount of time, however, I'm not sure how it's calculated.
In my case, the server is usually idle, awaiting a tcp listener future. In my head, this is constantly consuming an amount of the cpu due to polling, but I'm not exactly sure how much, and I don't know how it would translate to CPU time.
Basically, I'm not sure how much of a 60 CPU minute allocation would be eaten up per day by idling, or in other words, how to guess how many actual requests I'll be able to process per day
If anyone has any experience with this kind of thing, I'd appreciate any advice, information, or further reading
