If your tenancy is unpaid your "always free"-classed instances can be terminated without notice in order to provide capacity for a paid tenancy when necessary.

If your tenancy is unpaid your "always free"-classed instances can be terminated without notice in order to provide capacity for a paid tenancy when necessary. You can upgrade to paid tenancy and simply keep using "always free" resources for a $0.00 monthly bill.
- IceWreck 4y agoI'm still on unpaid tenancy and oracle docs say that reclaim servers which are under or overutilized. I use my oracle free servers (and one paid vps on hetzner) as automatic cloud fallbacks if my homelab is inaccessible over the internet for some reason. Which means I fall in the underutilized category as most of the time workload is under 2%. So I "fake" work to prevent reclaimation by oracle and its worked well so far. ``` # Oracle Cloud reclaims idle resources # https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm#compute__idleinstances https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier... - name: Create cronjob for minimum CPU utilization ansible.builtin.cron: name: fake work to prevent re-claimation special_time: hourly job: timeout 30s sha1sum /dev/zero ```
