Hey everyone,
Like many others, I was constantly getting the "Out of capacity" error for the Ampere A1 (4 OCPU, 24GB RAM) instance. To bypass the queue, I upgraded my account to Pay As You Go (PAYG).
It worked perfectly and I finally provisioned my instance! However, I noticed that the "Always Free" label is no longer showing up next to my instance in the dashboard.
I'm strictly keeping it within the free tier limits (4 OCPU, 24GB RAM, default boot volume). Is it normal for the "Always Free" tag to disappear on PAYG accounts? Will I get charged at the end of the month, or does Oracle still apply the free limits automatically without showing the tag?
Thanks in advance!
