As a reminder, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) will soon be reclaiming idle Always Free compute resources from Always Free customers. Reclaiming idle resources allows OCI to efficiently provide services to Always Free customers.
On Monday, January 30, 2023, you were notified by email that one or more Always Free compute instances in your account had been idle for 7 days. If these instances continue to be identified as idle, they will be stopped on Monday, February 6, 2023 at 00:00 UTC. If your idle Always Free compute instance is stopped, you can restart it as long as the associated compute shape is available in your region. You can keep idle compute instances from being stopped by converting your account to Pay As You Go (PAYG). With PAYG, you will not be charged as long as your usage for all OCI resources remains within the Always Free limits.
