Do dedicated clusters scale to zero when DB is idle?

We are using Xata for our app and I've just purchased the Pro plan before going live as the shared cluster on free tier keep throwing "out of memory" error every once in a while despite very minimal use.

When provisioning a cluster, I see the pricing calculator predict a monthly cost of $53.29 for 1 x db.t4g.medium. This is true if my instance runs 24/7 for the whole month. However, since Xata is serverless, my understanding is that the instance will shut down once idle for a certain period of time, and thus this $53.29 would not be billed if there are significant periods of idle time throughout the month.

Just wanted to know if the above assumption is correct or $53.29 is the fixed amount you'll have to pay per month anyways for 1 x db.t4g.medium?
