the 5$ plans benefits are:
"Includes $5 of monthly usage credits
After credits are used, you'll only be charged for extra resource usage
Up to 48 vCPU / 48 GB RAM per service
Up to 5 replicas, at 8 vCPU / 8 GB RAM per replica
Up to 5 GB storage
Single developer workspace
Community support
99.9% Availability Target

What does UP TO 48 gb ram mean? Do i get 48gb of ram for 5$?
How much of these benefits can i get with actually 5$ and without spending more? Is this flat 5$ or no?

In your plan you have a cap of a certain resources.
Think of those resources as though they are your computers specs themselves. If you try and use more then what the plan provides it is simply non existent and will not work. So "Your plan includes X and Y" means you have up to that much per service. A hard limit.
Now, for actually getting charged it's a bit different. You are charged by time of resource used (resource /s) visible on the pricing page. If your service runs using 10mb of ram for a minute you are charged at 10mb*60s.
For the monthly subscription, there's a minimum included spend. On the Hobby plan, that's $5 per month, which covers the first $5 of usage. If you use $4 worth of RAM, you'll still pay the $5 minimum. If you use $6 worth of RAM, you'll pay $6 total, the $5 base plus $1 for the additional usage.
