What is Robot Pool & how monthly RU is deducted

[mohamedalthaf]

Hi I recently started to learn about UiPath Hosted Cloud Robot - VM and I have doubt about RU monthly consumption. In the screenshot it was mentioned that when a month starts, the required RUs for your existing Cloud Robot - VM machines are automatically deducted from the tenant’s monthly RU pool to make sure they can run for the month.

What is actually referred to monthly RU pool here? In general we will get RU for a year in our enterprise account, For example I have 18000 RU / year for my enterprise account and from that I am allocating 8000 RU for my Defaut tenant.

Lets say I am using 6000 RU in my tenant for a month and I will have 2000 RU remaining in my tenant. My doubt is for next month I need 6000 RU but my tenant has 2000 RU. i need 4000 more RU. will it get deducted from the overall remaining 10000 RU from my enterprise account. How this Monthly RU deduction works?

Thanks in Advance

It can get the runs that are allocated only and not get from tge common pool…

If your bot need 6000 and you have only 2k left then it would reserve all 2k

Hey @Anil_G

Thanks for the reply. but can you explain me little bit in detail if possible.

@mohamedalthaf

Say you have 10k units

Assigned 5k to tenant A and 4k to tenant B

Now first month tenant a process used 2k and tenant B used 3k …

Now following month trnant A locks 2k and tenant B locks 1k…now tenant A is left with 1 k more …tenant B nothing…over all unallocated 1k

@Anil_G this means the process in B tenant will get stopped as it didn’t have enough RU?

[mohamedalthaf]

I referred UiPath documentation about machines and found this information.
So as per this info the machine in tenant will get disabled as it didn’t have enough RUs to run next month

@mohamedalthaf

If you read properly…it would disable if your tenant does not have enough…so till available limit it would use …then it disables

Cheers
