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](https://www.literatecomputing.com/product/discourse-install/)) 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.
