I can see free plan users starting to see their CI jobs randomly timeout if they have access to those machines.

I get that execution time isn't a bad metric, all things considered. But I would have expected actual CPU `time` (1), maybe mixed with memory usage.

AWS or GCS charge for VMs in actual clock (wall) time though, right?

Tthat your load may spend more or less time waiting on IO instead of actually using the CPU... I would not expect to effect your charge. Which is the main difference between wall time and actual CPU time, right?
