# Live pod GPU capacity and on-demand rates

`GET /v1/pods/capacity`

What a pod create can actually claim right now, per GPU model: free native (device-request) GPU units on online, non-delisted nodes (the exact filter admission uses), plus the SERVER-computed on-demand hourly rate. Only models with pod units and a price are returned; a create flow should offer exactly these and render these rates verbatim rather than re-deriving prices from the catalog.

## Response `200`

Capacity per GPU model, cheapest first

- object
  - `items` PodCapacityItem[], required
    - `freeUnits` integer, required — GPU units claimable right now (each pod takes one whole GPU)
    - `gpuModelId` string, required
    - `maxGpuCount` integer, required — largest gpuCount a single create can be granted right now: the biggest exact per-node tiling of free placeable units (0 = nothing claimable)
    - `name` string, required
    - `rateInterruptibleCentsPerHour` integer, required — deprecated: the interruptible class is retired, so this equals rateOnDemandCentsPerHour
    - `rateOnDemandCentsPerHour` integer, required — on-demand rate, cents per GPU-hour: what a create is charged
    - `rateReservedCentsPerHour` integer, required — deprecated alias of rateOnDemandCentsPerHour, carrying the same value
    - `totalUnits` integer, required — all pod units on online nodes, including ones currently claimed
    - `vramGb` integer, required

## Other responses

- `401` — Missing or invalid API key
