The account that got locked down triggered automatic checks that used payment history as a "these people are okay" check. They didn't have a payment history, they were running solely on credits, so got flagged. IOW, they hadn't paid for anything yet.

You can, but they can also shut you down for "abuse".

- EdwardDiego 7y agoThat's a very good question for their CTO. Maybe we should ask him on Twitter.
- scarface74 7y agoI’m referring to AWS’s policy compared to DO’s. If he were using AWS or Azure and he had the same set of issues, I wouldn’t blame him at all. But he is using a third rate cloud provider because it was cheaper and then he acts surprise that they don’t have the same level of competence and support as AWS or Azure. Yeah I purposefully left out GCP. I wouldn’t trust their support anymore than DO.
