I got charged for the free tier instance

I have been PAYG customer since 12th June. I created the my free tier A1 instance (4 OCPU/24 GB) in May 2026.

I have been under the impression that older accounts won't get charged for their existing free tier ARM based instance.

Funny thing is that I got charged for only two days. Cost Analysis shows no upcoming costs.

What is actually going on?

June timeframe

Updated info:
- Some reason I got charged for the end of the month
- My budget alert got triggered after cost went above $1
- I'm quite grateful to Oracle for the massive free tier but expect some clarification to not get blindsided by the bills.
- I may be grandfathered according to them, not my words :)

Network speed locked to 50mbps even after PAYG

Hi there!

I have just become a PAYG customer so that my instance (VM.Standard.A1.Flex with 4 OCPU and 24GB RAM) won't get reclaimed and I would get more than 50mbps internet speed but the speed is still the same.

Did the speed test internally and externally; results are the same.

How can I get rid of this speed limit?
