Oracle - of all businesses - got this right. I know, I'm in shock too.
In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, after your credit is exhausted, you have to explicitly opt in to billing or else they stop all paid services for you.
Moreover, you can choose to keep billing disabled and use their free services without fear of unknown costs.
AWS have just decided to run with a policy of offering refunds when people make mistakes. Unfortunately, some people are ignorant of this, or too timid to ask for their money back.
>Never thought Oracle would have such a nice free tier.
Attracted a fair bit of attention in some corners of the internet for this reason. Then they canned a bunch of accounts using "always free" stuff for myself and others. Do not trust.
Might just be an urban legend but doesnt Amazon keep track of people who do too many refunds and cancel services with them? I've heard of and met people who dont do minor returns to Amazon because they were afraid it would put their Prime account on some kind of "naughty list"
