How could they stay on free dynos? You can't be running on a free dyno 24/7. It's like 16/7 or something.

  If I'm not mistaken, if you gave Heroku a valid credit card, it would add a few hundred extra hours for your dynos.

    that's correct, you could be have it on 247 with trick!

  I have several legacy free tier dynos that don't have the restriction. They run 24/7, at least for another day or so.

  That was at one point true, but hasn't been true for at least a few years. Heroku could have gone back to that i suppose, instead of getting rid of free dynos entirely, but they didn't. Still... I think you could basically only run one free dyno per account 24/7. I am curious if they somehow fit their entire production in one free dyno, or were somehow splitting things between multiple accounts, or what.
