Up 500 acquisitions, your request would also use 10 172 PU, just like our request for 2000 px x 2000 px output in Example 1 (given that all the other parameters are the same as in Example 1).ParameterYour parametersMultiplication factorOutput image size (width x height)2000 x 2000 = 4 000 000/ (512 * 512)Number of input bands2/ 3Output format16 bit INT/UINTx1Number of data samples per pixel500x500OrthorectificationYesx2The calculation: (4 000 000 / 262 144) x (2 / 3) x 1 x 500 x 2 = 10 172 PUThe issue here is, that you would use more than 2 000 PU in a single minute, as it’s just one request, and use this heavy isn’t supported by any package. Each package specifies how many PUs and requests you can use per month, as well as per minute. Your request would time out or fail. If you’re interested in very large time ranges, it’s best to use batch processing API.Example 3Let’s suppose you want to order an orthorectified 16-bit Sentinel-1 image with 2 bands for the whole Australia in full resolution, which let’s say is covered with a 4000 x 4000 km bbox, which equals to 4 million meters x 4 million meters. As Sentinel-1 resolution is 10 meters, we know that our output image will have to be 400 000 pixels x 400 000 pixels large.ParameterYour parametersMultiplication factorOutput image size (width x height)400 000 x 400 000 = 160 000 000 000/ (512 * 512)Number of input bands2/ 3Output format16 bit INT/UINTx1Number of data samples per pixel1x1OrthorectificationYesx2The calculation: (160 000 000 000 / 262 144) x (2 / 3) x 1 x 1 x 2 = 813 802 PU.Processing API is limited to 2500 pixels for output width and height, so you would have to run this request with batch processing API. To do so, you would need to have an Enterprise account. As batch processing is cheaper, your batch processing request would use 813 802 / 3 = 271 267 PU. You can see that Enterprise S would be sufficient for this, as it offers 400 000 PU per month. And
