The discussion revolves around understanding a DigitalOcean discount offered through a Discourse link. alltiagocom asks for clarification on whether the $200 credit lasts for 60 days or until the credit is used, noting that the trial ends when either the 60-day period expires or the $200 is exhausted. merefield suggests contacting DigitalOcean support, but alltiagocom prefers seeking input from the community. pfaffman clarifies that the trial ends at whichever comes first: 60 days or $200 spent. alltiagocom confirms understanding, noting that usage can vary—such as spending $200 in 30 days or $100 over 60 days—depending on how the credit is used.
Since I’m new to DigitalOcean and Discourse, what does it really mean?
Does it mean that for 60 days I can add products from DigitalOcean that I would otherwise pay, up to $200?
For example, looking at their pricing page here, there’s this:
So using that discount, that means that I would be able to use this for 60 days, meaning, $8 total, so I would still have $192 for other products. Is that what it is?
I thought that maybe some people here who have used that link before would be able to answer that, especially because sometimes trying to contact these big companies is not always effective or takes longer.
So no matter what, the limit is always 60 days.
Now I can either use $200 in a single month and the trial is over in 30 days instead of 60, or I “spend” for example $50 a month and the trial is over at the end of the 60 days with me just using $100 out of $200, correct?
