Oh, you're just talking about deleting it when you're not using it in general, rather than during peak times. Makes sense.

The usage pattern i've seen on flexible compute is more aligned with 'I need this process to execute, run it when it's cheap' not 'I'm going to kick off this process, stop it if it get's expensive.' for example AWS Spot Instances
The custom volume keeps your persistent install, configs, work in progress, etc.
You can programmatically kick off a linode, attach the volume, then boot, as well as delete, all via curl or python.
So not variable rates, but no rates when the beast is deleted.
