Per the site:

At any time during or after the 30-day period,* switch to a Pay As You Go account. **Pay only for services that exceed the monthly free amounts from Always Free Services.**

Followed by:

Compute

Arm Compute Instance

Arm-based Ampere A1 cores and 12 GB of memory usable as 1 VM or 2 VMs

**Always Free

1,500 OCPU hours and 9,000 GB hours per month **

I feel it's explicitly stated now.

Always Free Services (which is a designated proper noun by capital letters, indicating a specific label for service) includes only up to 1500 OCPU hrs and 9000 GB hrs per month. This calculates to 2.016 CPU cores and 12.096 GB of ram usage if running your instances 24/7 for a 31 day month.

For those that wish to discuss with customer service, please use the proper terminology that THEY USE in their descriptions, FAQs, etc. I see too many of yall using terms interchangeably such as free, free tier, always free, etc which allows them to state YOU didn't ask the right questions because legally you did not.

So a sample question could be:

I am on the PAYG plan. Has my Always Free Services resource limit been changed with the new changes to Free Tier accounts? If I go over 1500 OCU and/or 9000 GB hours per month because I have maintained my previous 4 OCU and 24GB ram instances from before the changes to Always Free Services, will I be billed for that overage?

This way you are using their language to describe the services you receive from them. You either get A. The actual answer or B. Potential class action lawsuit material for false advertising.

Why is formatting and adding a disk still such a convoluted and often times problematic process?

We're well into the new licensing model to continually generate revenue for the unraid team. Why is clearing, formatting, and putting a file system on a drive still such a pain in the ass?

- Why do I need to stop the array to create a pool?

- Why do I need to clear the disk, type out the disk name to prevent accidental clearing, then need to format the disk, click the check box to confirm I want to format a disk, then click format button, then click OK on a confirmation?

- Why is it still a pain in the ass for disks with existing filesystems to be properly formatted without buggy "Unmountable" nonsense?

I've never dealt with a linux distro or Windows install that was so damn difficult to simply utilize a disk.
