Have you contact the support team?
My instances in Frankfurt also down this morning.
I go chat the support team and
That's it. 5 years of free VPS.
Ouch! That was very unprofessional of them. But having dealt with support here in Brazil, I am not surprised either.
I have a prepaid account with 4 free tier instances and an additional 50GB drive, just so I can think of something I'm paying for (~$2 per month). Their billing system has been declining all my credit cards for about 6 months now. I've had to resort to paying by bank transfer and sending the receipt by email. No attempt to verify/fix why their billing system isn't working.
I bet any day now I'll wake up to the monitoring system telling me that these servers have stopped responding. I've already moved everything important to other VPSs.
I just did, and yeah, turns out they also terminated my account. I guess they don't think I deserve even a bye email.
Is there anything due to content you hosted or simply because of free one, what will happen if we add up additional storage, VPU for I/O boost, keep monthly payment 2-3 USD ? Sorry, sad to see your account go.
Likely this. There has been no changes on what I'm hosting for about a year now, so it seems they just run a sweep to find what accounts they think unprofitable.
Was your account on the free tier, or were you on a paid tier but using the always-free instances?
wtf what does it mean all canceled

Same here, I was in their free tier only but many in who upgraded to Paid tier (and keep only e the free tier running) doesn't have any issue.
Paid tier could be as low as possible, like 2-5 USD would be fine to retain account? I just wanted add up 50 GB volume, VMU for free tier volumes. I like Oracle free one, their DC is near my city
It was free tier.
I think so, since the others who reported still running was OK with even $0 invoices due keeping the account in the free tier limits.
If you are going to create a new account and upgrade it let me know if that worked.
I am on the free tier, and mine is still working fine so far.
They did introduce a no-idle policy some time ago - maybe they are enforcing that now?
Max use policy fine with them?
Yabs 24*7?
I have use case to run data stream analytics, I could use them 24/7.
I'd basically forgotten about my instances, but they're still running fine. I read about the usage requirement, so I hacked up a quick script 2 years ago and haven't looked at it since!
To make sure the load stays approximately at 50%, I have a background task that continually re-creates into an unused DB a copy of my initial database by doing some processing on a whole load of text. It takes roughly 30 second to complete, so I have cron run it once per minute and my average CPU use sits quite happily around 50%.
I always meant to switch up the VMs and add another core to push me out of the free limits into paid, but I've never had sufficient load to justify it!
I take it it's not possible?
I am paying like 0.5 usd per month and everything works like a swiss watch for a few years now.
unfortunately not all the country's supported.
Does anyone know if BGP announcement (bring your own IP) is working on the free tier plan ?
Looks like there's a kernel bug in 6.8.0-1022-oracle which breaks (some) ip6tables rules (someone reported tailscale, for me it broke k3s).

Can anyone login on https://www.oracle.com/cloud/sign-in.html ?
The page is mostly broken for me, login doesn't complete with arcane error messages, and the password recovery link leads to ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED.
Larry wake up.
I just logged in. No issues here.
Works fine here,
No clue, maybe it's a regional issue.
You are DNS blocking them. Check your ad blocker.
Works fine.
Could be. Had one instance deleted by them. Spun a new one (non idler) and it's been working ever since.
Just FYI I just used the Debi script (just default) to convert an Oracle 9 AMD VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro instance to Debian 12 and it worked beautifully no issues. Oracle 9 couldn't even successfully run yum with the 1G ram on this shape (as expected of course).
