The Fair Use Policy denotes an average CPU time limit of 50ms/invocation within a one hour period across all of your Team's projects. This 50ms limit refers to the actual net CPU time used, not the execution time. Operations such as network access do not count towards the CPU time limit. This policy is for all plans (Hobby, Pro, Enterprise).
You can see usage of your team's average CPU time on the Edge Middleware section of the Usage tab on your dashboard.
