The discussion revolves around using credit on DigitalOcean for payments. TheAdmin2 deposited $50 and wonders if their $20/month fee will be automatically deducted from the credit. cpradio confirms that the credit will be used first, and a bill will be sent once it’s depleted. TheAdmin2 appreciates the clarification. jomaxro suggests contacting DigitalOcean directly for support, providing a contact link. pfaffman shares a personal experience with DigitalOcean, advising to monitor emails from the company to avoid account shutdowns.
Hi,
I just deposited 50 US$ to my Digital Ocean account and it says I have 51.04US$ left as credit.
Does this mean that my 20US$/month will be paid using the credit or do I have to do something else? I just don’t want my forum to go down because of me being stupid.
Yes, they should withdraw it from your credit. Once that runs out, they will likely notify you and send you a bill
Great! I just don’t want it to be pulled ^^. Thanks!
Quick heads up - while many users here use Digital Ocean and are generally knowledgeable, Discourse ≠ Digital Ocean. You may be better off asking Digital Ocean themselves. Contact DigitalOcean. I’ve always had a good experience reaching out to them when needed.
Well, @jomaxro, that is a good point, but I suspect lots of folks here who need help with questions like this don’t know where else to look!
I had an account that I’d forgotten about (I create a bunch of accounts doing installs) that ran $12 over the $5 I had deposited before they threatened to shut me down. They probably won’t shut you down immediately,but make sure you monitor your email from them.
