The cloud tab in 3Delight Display is a general monitoring tool of the progresses of your ongoing cloud rendering activities. It displays activities not only for rendering as it happen in 3Delight Display's image view, but any cloud rendering activities happening under your account. Such as renderings launched using the command lines and renderings launched using other applications or on another computer in another location.
Here is a complete description of the content of the dialog.

STARTED | Time at which the rendering process was started. |
MINUTES | The number of cloud minutes spent so far on the rendering process. This is counted as a quantity of 24-core-minutes usage, not user time. For the first 3 minutes, the quantity is displayed in seconds. |
CORES | The number of cores used by the rendering process. This will vary over time. |
STATUS | Indicates the status of the process — such as Syncing, Starting, Rendering, Completed, Waiting, Aborted, etc. The list of reported statuses is described in detail here. |
When a rendering process is finished (successfully or not), it continues to be listed for one hour (using a subdued shade).
