 ## Resources

-[Docker containers](https://www.docker.com/resources/what-container),
-which have a [limited amount of resources](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/docker-memory-and-cpu-limit) (memory, CPU, disk size, ...). When starting, the Actor needs to be allocated a certain share of those resources, such as how much CPU "horsepower" it will be able to use.

 ### Memory
 
-When invoking the Actor, the caller has to specify the amount of memory allocated for the Actor run. The amount of memory can be set to a power of 2 with a minimum of 128 MB, i.e., 256 MB, 512 MB, 1024 MB, 2048 MB, ..., 32768 MB.
+When invoking an Actor, the caller must specify the memomy allocation for the Actor run. The memory allocation must follow these requirements:
 
-Additionally, each user has a certain total limit of memory for running Actors. The sum of memory allocated for all running Actors and builds needs to fit into this limit, otherwise the user cannot start a new Actor. For more details, see [limits](../../limits.md).
+- It must be a power of 2.
+- The minimum allowed value is `128MB`
+- The maximum allowed value is `32768MB`
+- Acceptable values include: `128MB`, `256MB`, `512MB`, `1024MB`, `2048MB`, `4096MB`, `8192MB`, `16384MB`, and `32768MB`
+
+Additionally, each user has a certain total limit of memory for running Actors. The sum of memory allocated for all running Actors and builds needs to be within this limit, otherwise the user cannot start a new Actor. For more details, see [limits](../../limits.md).
 
 ### CPU
 
-The share of CPU is computed automatically from the memory as follows: for each 4096 MB of memory, the Actor gets 1 full CPU core. For other amounts of memory the number of CPU cores is computed fractionally. For example, 512 MB = 1/8th of a core, 1 GB = 1/4 of core, 8 GB gives you 2 cores, and so on.
+The CPU allocation for an Actor is automatically computed based on the assigned memory, following these rules:
+
+- For every `4096MB` of memory, the Actor receives one full CPU core
+- If the memory allocation is not a multiple of `4096MB`, the CPU core allocation is calculated proportionally
+- Examples:
+  - `512MB` = 1/8 of a CPU core
+  - `1024MB` = 1/4 of a CPU core
+  - `8192MB` = 2 CPU cores

 ### Disk

 ## Requirements
 
-Actors built on top of the [Apify JS SDK](/sdk/js) and [Crawlee](https://crawlee.dev/) use autoscaling. This means that they will always run as efficiently as they can with the memory they have allocated. So, if you allocate 2 times more memory, the run should be 2 times faster and consume the same amount of compute units (1 * 1 = 0.5 * 2). Autoscaling for Python is not yet available, but it is planned for the near future.

-A good middle ground to start is 4096 MB. If you need the results faster, increase the memory (bear in mind the [next point](#maximum-memory), though). You can also try decreasing it to lower the pressure on the target site.

 Autoscaling only applies to solutions that run multiple tasks (URLs) for at least 30 seconds. If you need to scrape just one URL or use Actors like [Google Sheets](https://apify.com/lukaskrivka/google-sheets) that do just a single isolated job, we recommend you lower the memory.

-If the Actor doesn't have this information, or you want to use your own solution, just run your solution like you want to use it long term. Let's say that you want to scrape the data **every hour for the whole month**. You set up a reasonable memory allocation like 4096 MB, and the whole run takes 15 minutes. That should consume 1 CU (4 \* 0.25 = 1). Now, you just need to multiply that by the number of hours in the day and by the number of days in the month, and you get an estimated usage of 720 (1 \* 24 \* 30) CUs monthly.

 ### Maximum memory
 
-Apify Actors are most commonly written in [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/), which uses a [single process thread](https://betterprogramming.pub/is-node-js-really-single-threaded-7ea59bcc8d64). Unless you use external binaries such as the Chrome browser, Puppeteer, Playwright, or other multi-threaded libraries you will not gain more CPU power from assigning your Actor more than 4 GB of memory because Node.js cannot use more than 1 core.

+When you run an Actor it generates platform usage that's charged to the user account. Platform usage comprises four main parts:
 
 - **Compute units**: CPU and memory resources consumed by the Actor.
-- **Data transfer**: Amount of data you transfered between web, Apify platform, and other external systems.
+- **Data transfer**: The amount of data transferred between the web, Apify platform, and other external systems.
 - **Proxy costs**: Residential or SERP proxy usage.
-- **Storage operations**: Read, write, and other operations towards key-value store, dataset, and request queue.
+- **Storage operations**: Read, write, and other operations performed on the Key-value store, Dataset, and Request queue.
 
 The platform usage can be represented either in raw units (e.g. gigabytes for data transfer, or number of writes for dataset operations), or in the dollar equivalents.
-Note that for technical reasons, every time you see the usage in dollars on a specific historical Actor run or build in the API or Apify Console, your current service pricing is used to compute the dollar amount,
-and hence it should be used only for informative purposes.

+A compute unit (CU) is the unit of measurement for the resources consumed by Actor runs and builds. You are charged for using Actors based on CU consumption.
 
-For example, if you run an Actor with 1GB of allocated memory for 1 hour, it will consume 1 CU. Depending on your [subscription plan](https://apify.com/pricing/actors#how-does-the-platform-pricing-work), this CU will cost you a certain amount of money.

-> **How are CUs calculated?** To calculate CUs, you need to multiply two factors:
->
-> - **Memory** (GB) - Size of the allocated server for your Actor or task run.
-> - **Duration** (hours) - How long the server is used (Actor or task run). For example, if your run took 6 minutes (360 seconds), you can use 0.1 (hours) as the second number to calculate CUs. Minimum granularity is a second.
->
-> **1 GB memory x 1 hour = 1 CU.**
+#### Compute unit calculation
+
+CUs are calculated by multiplying two factors:
+
+- **Memory** (MB) - The size of the allocated server for your Actor or task run.
+- **Duration** (hours) - The duration for which the server is used (Actor or task run). For example, if your run took 6 minutes, you would use 0.1 (hours) as the second number to calculate CUs. The minimum granularity is a second.
+
+Example: _1024MB memory x 1 hour = 1 CU_

+The factors that influence resource consumption, in order of importance, are:
 
-- **Using a browser or plain HTTP**: launching a browser ([Puppeteer](https://pptr.dev/)/[Playwright](https://playwright.dev/)) is resource-intensive and slow. Working with plain HTML ([Cheerio](https://cheerio.js.org/)) can be up to **20 times** faster.
