Will a "Never" auto-suspend setting for a warehouse lead to efficient credit consumption?

Yes, because the warehouse will suspend when not in use
No, because it will always be running and consuming credits
Yes, because it allows for more query processing
No, because it reduces workload

The correct answer is: No, because it will always be running and consuming credits

A "Never" auto-suspend setting for a warehouse in Snowflake means that the warehouse will remain active and will not suspend when it is not in use. This setting leads to inefficient credit consumption because the warehouse continuously consumes credits while running, regardless of whether it is actively processing queries or idle. When a warehouse is always running, it incurs costs for compute resources without providing additional benefits, especially during idle times when no queries are being processed. In contrast, allowing a warehouse to suspend when not in use optimizes credit consumption, as it halts credit usage during periods of inactivity. Therefore, a "Never" setting directly contradicts efficient credit management by ensuring that credits are consumed continuously.
