Do you get charged whilst your request is waiting on throttled workers?

I did everything I can to reduce cold start times on my end. I managed to install everything onto a Docker container (and avoid using Network Volume), and I'm using the official runpod A11111 worker with minor modifications.

Unfortunately the cold start times are still random. I noticed that despite setting 3 Max workers to an endpoint, all 5 workers would get the "Throttled" status, which I'm guessing is the reason why the cold start times are so random.

If I'm getting a very high request time due to Throttled workers, in this case, one basic request took 170 seconds - am I getting charged for the entire 170 seconds?
