Does the number of workers in Playwright affects the build minutes in pipeline?

Does the number of workers in Playwright affect the build minutes in pipeline? I mean I don't want to use too much of build minutes as its limited per plan. If I finished the build in 10 minutes using 3 workers, will it cost 30 minutes build time or just 10 mins?

Hey @Proprice 

Welcome to the community!

The number of Playwright workers (i.e., the parallelism within your test) does not directly affect your Bitbucket Pipelines build minute usage. What matters for build minute calculation is how your pipeline steps are configured and the resources allocated to those steps.

For example, if you finish your build in 10 minutes using 3 Playwright workers (within a single step), you will only be charged for 10 build minutes (or 10 × step size if using more resources). The number of Playwright workers does not multiply your build minute usage unless you are running multiple pipeline steps in parallel.
