What a VM credit costs

“They are priced at $0.015 each.”
Price per VM credit - codesandbox.io
“priced at $0.15 per hour”
On-demand VM credits on Scale - codesandbox.io

Research note: The page states $0.015 per VM credit and $0.15 per hour for on-demand VM credits on Scale (as stated; unit wording ambiguous). The page text does not include the per-VM-tier credits-per-hour table, so the two figures cannot be reconciled from it.
