Describe the fix or the content request.

Related to #3848.

The new feature that returns circuit timing information also returns the total circuit time. We should add disclaimers that this is NOT the time used for billing.

The circuit time is the total duration of the circuit once it's scheduled. We define "quantum time", however, as "time spent by the QPU complex to process your job", which includes time to load the payload, rep_delay between each shot loop, etc.

For new content requests - if the request is accepted, do you want to write the content?

I can help the team by providing enough information or by referring them to a specific Subject Matter Expert to write the material
