The former.  At each negotiation cycle, the negotiator essentially does 
a condor_status for the whole pool, and charges each user for their 
current usage.  If there should be more than one running, they each do 
this independently.

You might get split usage if one negotiator was running while the other 
wasn't, but as long as you have one negotiator that is running for the 
whole time, that negotiator's accounting should be complete.
