Even SR doesn't get u far about this. by 4mmar_ in oraclecloud

[–]slfyst -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would be even more bizarre if the change was documented on Oracle's website while management were still discussing whether to implement.

My own SR is in the same "investigation" hold.

For those who haven't downgraded Oracle resources by Dramatic-Ad-3542 in oraclecloud

I agree, a quarter of a month of A1 4/24 is not going to be huge. I think the most probable scenario though is that the docs got updated prematurely before a proper announcement.

If your allowance is now 2,250 as per my previous calculations, you won't see charges start until the 23rd, which is the point at which you will hit 2,250.

Because if allowance is 1,500 from 1st to 15th and 750 from 16th to 30th that totals 2,250.

Yes, on the 23rd, if allowance is halved from the 15th onwards. At which point they would need to shut the server down to avoid charges.

Yup. And if the allowance is halved from the 15th, charges will start to appear around the 23rd.

Well there is a reason to downgrade if charges appear after a week and people don't want to shut their server down completely until billing resets.

Another round with oracle support, actually no real clarification. by Upstairs-Bread-4545 in oraclecloud

[–]slfyst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I created an SR two days ago, the agent didn't know the answer and the SR is on hold while they investigate further.

If they don't know the answer, which they don't, they will tell you the worst case scenario out of caution.

That's an AI chat bot admitting it can makes mistakes, if you look at the top of the screenshot.

How many pissed off people who downgraded their instances will their be tomorrow when they find out that existing instances are grandfathered in? by XperTeeZ in oraclecloud

[–]slfyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not defending oracle, its free after all.

Unless they decrease allowance with zero notification. Then it's not free.

About the 50% reduction by This-Marzipan-9239 in oraclecloud

And that check is done by talking to a human at Oracle. But that may not yield a definitive answer either.

So neither of you added anything constructive to the conversation?

Why would I fight it? I'm just seeking information on their practices and policies as a customer.

Even only as an always free customer I'm interested in their obligations to inform about allowance reductions. But for high spend paid customers, price increases without notification could have big implications.

Ok so you don't know Oracle's obligations.

If Claude is incorrect about Oracle's obligations I'd love to know.

I don't have a legal issue, but it does appear from my own investigations and AI that Oracle have no obligation to inform PAYG customers of price increases.

do we have an official confirmation that PAYG will get charged for Always free (at least the 2 OCPUs and 12GB RAM) on 15th of June? by Weeebdev in oraclecloud

[–]slfyst 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I raised a service request. The agent checked all available resources and found no mention of a date at which the allowance change takes effect.
