Description

Kernel no longer charges disk space fees for idle pool browsers. This PR updates the pricing page to reflect that change:

  • Removed the $0.001/GB/hour idle disk pricing table (headful/headless rates, disk allocations, monthly cost examples)
  • Removed the Enterprise waiver note (no longer needed since there are no idle charges for any plan)
  • Added clear language that idle browsers in a pool incur no disk charges
  • Updated the intro paragraph to mention the no-idle-charges policy alongside standby mode and free proxies

Testing

  • Verify the pricing page renders correctly with no broken formatting
  • Confirm the browser pools section reads coherently without the old pricing table

Visual proof

N/A — text-only change to a docs page.

Additional notes

The "Reserved browsers (browser pools)" section now simply states that you pay usage-based pricing while browsers run and idle browsers incur no disk charges. The GPU acceleration note for pools is preserved.


Note

Low Risk
Low risk docs-only update; changes pricing language and removes an idle-disk-fee table, with minimal chance of regressions beyond potential formatting issues.

Overview
Updates info/pricing.mdx to reflect that idle browser pool instances no longer incur disk charges.

Removes the idle disk pricing table (rates, allocations, examples) and the Enterprise-only waiver note, and updates the intro and browser pools section copy to clearly state you only pay usage-based compute while pooled browsers are actively running.

Risk assessment: Very Low.

I reviewed the diff directly and found a documentation-only change in info/pricing.mdx that updates pricing wording and removes an idle disk charge table for browser pools. There are no code, config, infrastructure, auth, billing implementation, or runtime logic changes.

Blast radius is limited to documentation clarity/content, with no production behavior impact, so this is safe to approve under the Very Low risk criteria.

Approved, but holding merge until the billing configuration change is deployed (removing idle disk charges for pool browsers). Once that's live, this can be merged.
