The cloud tab in 3Delight Display is a general monitoring tool of the progresses of your ongoing cloud renderings. It monitors not only the rendering as it happen in 3Delight Display's image view, but any cloud rendering happening under your account — such as renderings launched using the command lines and renderings launched using other applications or on another computer at another location.

STARTED | Time at which the rendering process was started. |
MINUTES | The number of cloud minutes spent so far on the rendering. 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. Note: Minutes are not counted, nor charged, during syncing. |
