usage-aware-job-submission
Submit a job only when the instance usage limit has not been reached.
Reads instance usage, then submits a primitive job only if the usage limit has not yet been reached.
2 steps inputs: accessToken, apiVersion, backend, params, programId, serviceCrn outputs: jobId, usageConsumedSeconds
1
getInstanceUsage
get_usage
Read the instance's current usage period, including consumed seconds and whether the usage limit has been reached.
2
submitJob
create_job
Submit the primitive job now that the instance still has usage capacity.

  title: IBM Quantum Usage-Aware Job Submission
  summary: Check instance usage and remaining limit before submitting a job, skipping submission when the limit is reached.
  description: >-
    A budget-guarded submission flow. The workflow reads the current instance
    usage to see how much QPU time has been consumed against the limit and
    branches: when the usage limit has not been reached it submits a primitive
    job, and when the limit is already reached it ends without spending more
    capacity. Each request inlines its bearer token, Service-CRN, and
    IBM-API-Version headers so the flow can be read and executed without opening
    the underlying OpenAPI descriptions.
