Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: Seeing STARBURST* TRINO GALAXY on your financial statement indicates a transaction from Starburst Data, Inc. for the Starburst Galaxy Managed Trino Platform used in cloud data analytics and query execution services. This billing entry represents consumption-based charges for managed query engines, where organizations process distributed SQL queries across large-scale data lakes without moving underlying files. Data teams rely on these high-performance analytics engines, which explains why unexpected compute costs prompt immediate administrative audits.
Unreviewed registry note: Billing occurs based on active cluster hours and compute sizing converted into standardized platform credits. Organizations frequently encounter unexpected charges when an exploratory cluster remains running continuously without auto-suspend enabled, or when a scheduled analytics pipeline consumes more credit units than anticipated during heavy workloads. Checking your platform console helps isolate the specific workload responsible for the expense.
Unreviewed registry note: To investigate the charge and prevent further unexpected expenses, log in to your administrative console at galaxy.starburst.io and navigate to the billing section to review itemized invoices and cluster consumption logs. You can configure automated cluster shut-off timers, adjust node sizing, or delete inactive query engines to control ongoing monthly costs.
