Surface the per-hour rate alongside the existing monthly cost in Startup and Pro tier instance tables, so users can easily reason about usage-based billing, partial-day workloads, and autoscaling without reverse-engineering the 730 hours/month assumption. - cloud/startup-tier.md: add Hourly Cost column to instance table. - cloud/pro-tier.md: add Hourly Cost column to Standalone and Replicated instance tables. - cloud/enterprise-tier.md: clarify Enterprise pricing is also calculated on a per-hour basis (Core/Hour + Memory GB/Hour). - Add note: Monthly Cost = Hourly Cost x 730 hours/month. All hourly figures verified against published rates ($0.200/Core/Hour, $0.01/Memory GB/Hour for Pro; $0.100/Memory GB/Hour for Startup) and existing monthly totals.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR standardizes pricing presentation across all cloud tier documentation by introducing hourly cost rates alongside monthly totals. Each tier's documentation is updated with an explicit pricing formula (Monthly Cost = Hourly Cost × 730 hours/month), replacing generic pricing descriptions with specific hourly and derived monthly costs.

Pull request overview
This PR updates the Cloud DBaaS paid-tier documentation to surface per-hour billing directly in the pricing tables (Startup + Pro), and clarifies that Enterprise pricing is also calculated on an hourly basis for consistency.
Changes:
- Adds an Hourly Cost column to the Startup tier instance pricing table and includes a “Monthly = Hourly × 730” note.
- Adds an Hourly Cost column to the Pro tier Standalone and Replicated (HA) pricing tables and includes the same monthly-calculation note for Standalone.
- Updates Enterprise tier pricing wording to explicitly describe per-hour calculation terminology.

Remove or define the * footnote marker in monthly prices.
Line 45 and Line 46 use *, but there’s no corresponding footnote definition in this section. Either remove the marker or add a short footnote line.

Summary
The Pro and Startup tier pages list a per-hour rate in prose ($0.200/Core/Hour, $0.01/Memory GB/Hour, $0.100/Memory GB/Hour for Startup) but the instance tables only show monthly totals. This PR adds an Hourly Cost column to each instance table so users can:
Changes
cloud/startup-tier.md: add Hourly Cost column to the instance pricing table; add a footnote thatMonthly Cost = Hourly Cost x 730 hours/month.cloud/pro-tier.md: add Hourly Cost column to both the Standalone and Replicated (HA) instance pricing tables; add the same footnote under Standalone.cloud/enterprise-tier.md: clarify that Enterprise custom pricing is also calculated on a per-hour basis (Core/Hour + Memory GB/Hour), to keep terminology consistent with the other paid tiers.All hourly figures were derived from the published unit rates and verified against the existing monthly totals (e.g., Pro standalone E2-standard-2 = 2 cores x $0.200 + 8 GB x $0.01 = $0.480/hr x 730 = $350.40/month). Replicated hourly values are existing monthly / 730.
