You can get more processing power and true unlimited time with any semi-competent graphic card (probably costing less than 1 year of Colab Pro+). Pro+ is a scam, you are not told what kind of instances you will be running at, and you dont have any guaranteed continuous running time. And even if you were given full 24/7 access to a top of the line card that would be like 0.001% of the power used to train any big modern ML model.
