It has a one minute minimum anyway. And does it not help? Let's say a deployment strategy has a temporary increase in instances so it can transition to a new version of the application. If your deployment takes 5 minutes, you're only paying for 5 minutes worth of extra instances whereas the hourly billing would get you for an entire hour. Am I completely misunderstanding something?
