Estimate the cost, in qBraid credits, of running a job on a device before submitting it.

The quote is a guide, not a cap. When you submit a job, its estimated cost is held from your credit balance; when the job finishes, you are charged its actual cost and the difference is refunded or debited. A job that runs longer than quoted is billed for what it used. A QPU is quoted from that device's execution history. A simulator is quoted from a fixed conservative duration, so its quote does not change with the shot count.

A device whose pricing cannot be quoted is a state, not an error: the response has pricingAvailable: false and a reason.

Args:

• deviceQrn (string): Device QRN (qBraid Resource Name)
• shots (integer, optional): Shot count to quote for. Defaults to 1000.

Returns:

• A quote with estimatedCost when pricingAvailable is true, or a reason when it is false

Raises:

• 400: deviceQrn is missing or shots is outside 1 to 100000
• 403: You do not have device execution permission for this device
• 404: Device is not found
• 410: Device is retired
