Does NextJS time-based revalidation count towards my Vercel free tier build minutes?

I'm currently running the staging environment for a large project with 50+ dynamic pages. They implement time-based revalidation every 5 minutes on Vercel's free hobby tier.
Plus I have to import data for many more pages with dynamic params (like /posts/[slug]), where I have implemented revalidation of 5 mins as well.
1. Does the build time for those pages count towards the 6000 build minutes on Vercel hobby tier?
2. How would I go about calculating total revalidation time for them? Is it something I should worry about?
3. Should I delete the automatic deployments for new branches after I'm done with them, if they gobble up my build minutes as well?
I'm using the latest NextJS version 14.0.2

revalidating shouldnt count towards your build minutes since youre not building anything new. it should count towards your function execution times though.
if you didnt want new branches to auto build you can use: https://vercel.com/guides/how-do-i-use-the-ignored-build-step-field-on-vercel
