Pick your chip, set your typical idle hours, and choose a utilization preset. Ambient will estimate both hourly and monthly earnings from the same chip-rate table used in the app.
These figures are estimates, not promises. They default to the same 75% utilization preset used in the worker dashboard.
Ambient already tracks held and released earnings. Self-serve withdrawal is still a separate beta task, so payout requests are coordinated manually today.
