Introduced the Flex compute plan for Render Workflows
UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
Render Workflows uses a new default compute plan for task runs: flex . The flex compute plan provides up to 1 CPU and 4 GB of RAM. Task runs on flex are billed only for the CPU and RAM they actually use, resulting in significantly lower costs for computationally inexpensive runs.
