I am surprised that people aren't using google colab pro/pro+ in this context. You basically get access to multiple A100 for $10/month and with some simple javascript tricks, you can get a session to last for 24hrs at least.

Pro+ is more expensive at $50/mo but it allows for more simplified background execution. if you are only just getting started and don't expect to be training for multiple months, then colab or other cloud-notebook providers are really great to start.

Google has recently limited the pro plan to 100 compute units per month. Using an A100 on colab burns 13 units an hour. So you could be out of units within 8 hours. Not really the $10/month deal you're looking for.
