Hello!
This might is bit off topic on this thread.
Seems like there is some confusion going on about the Free tier on a post[1]. Can you please comment there on whether the 'Always free' is free only during the first 12 months or forever?
Also, if I have been using Google Cloud since before today (when free trial was $300 over 60 days), am I still eligible for the 'Always free' tier?
From the page linked and the FAQ, it looks like it but many people on the thread I've linked are thinking otherwise.
Can you please clear that up for us? Thank you!

- TripleA 10y agoSorry, we've made updates to clarify. Yes, you can use during and beyond the free trial. Even though your free trial has expired, you can still use the Always Free products.
- ktta 10y agoThank you! Another quick question. Is there anyway to see during instance creation/usage if it is part of the free tier? When I create a f1-micro instance, it shows the usual $5/month billing, but doesn't indicate any kind of 'free tier' usage. How can we know if any service we use will be a part of the free tier for sure? I guess I can wait a few days to see if any costs accrue, but I was wondering if there was a better way for everyone.
