Check the logs.
There is a lot of confusion surrounding this change at Oracle, so I looked for answers by reading between the lines.
I am currently running my VPS with maxed-out settings but restricted to just 12 hours of operation per day—theoretically keeping me within all limits by the end of the month.
However, while looking for a way to check my VPS usage time yesterday, I remembered the Cost and Usage Reports tab. I downloaded the daily reports and was able to see the data using a simple extraction and cleanup script.
Last month, the `oci_OverageFlag` was set to 'N', but currently, it is set to 'Y'.
To me, this feels like more than just a warning. I am curious to see how things play out after the 15th for the brave souls out there.
So, how are your logs looking? 👀
