Two objects share the name — know which one you have
Two objects share one name
Lithi Compute returns two different objects named quote, and mixing them up is a common mistake. A free preview estimates fit and price. A signed quote is the one your account can approve and run.
What each one lets you do
| Free preview | Signed quote |
|---|---|
| No account | Account required |
| Non-authorizing | Approved to run |
| Cannot run | Required before running |
Review before you approve
Read the maximum charge, the capacity state, and the expiry on a signed quote before you approve it. Approval is a separate step, never an automatic result of requesting the quote.
If a quote expires or changes
A signed quote is short-lived and tied to your account. Request a fresh one if it expires, or if the task, price, or your account state changes first.
