It is a little counterintuitive, but "churn through overnight" still means you're decreasing the queue size. You're right that the cost really ends up being roughly the same, unless your service gives you a discount for compute overnight or something.
Completely agree that the queue still goes down, I just see comments on here about folks preferring a VPS because they run it 24/7 for the same price. That is probably fine for their scenario but the non-technical members probably don't understand that they aren't saving money by doing it this method but are adding a delay. That is my only point.
Exactly. I think a lot of people in this thread don't understand they "aren't saving money by doing it this method but are adding a delay" with their complicated auto scaling worker setup lol
