when did you upgrade to hobby

I did not - do I need to?

yes

Oh, okay that would explain it. I did not meet any pay wall when trying to deploy the template, so I didn't realize that would be the issue. Will upgrade and try again

yes its quite the confusing error in this case

Is it correctly understood that when I upgrade to hobby, i pay 5$ immediately, but then I still have a 5$ allowance per month, like a trial user has? Difference is, now I am credit card verified, and can exceed the 5$ allowance.

I'm writing a tutorial upon request, and I'd like to be clear about the costs. My user is higher tier and was created a long time ago, but looks like I am getting 5$ credit on that user - is that also the case for new users created now?

the hobby plan costs 5$ a month and comes with 5$ every month that can be used towards resource usage

So it cost 5$ but you get resources worth of 10$ for that price, and can go above?

as just mentioned, you get 5$ worth of credits to be used towards resources, im not sure where you are getting the $10 number from

but yes you can end up spending more than 5$ per month if your resource usage exceeds the included $5 of resources

Can you end up spending less than 5$ per month? I think I remember some time ago, when I was hosting just 1 project with little traffic, i was paying less than one dollar because of the 5$ credit - is this still the case? Or will at least 5$ be charged every month? Sorry for the confusion

5$ is the minimum spend

alright now its clear! Thank you

no problem!

Thank you this also helped me with having the same problem 🙂 cheers team!
