The free usage allowance for Ampere A1 servers is 3,000 OCPU hours (processor usage time) and 18,000GB hours (memory usage) per account (tenancy) each month. This is equivalent to keeping one virtual server with 4 cores and 24GB of memory running all month. Two small servers with VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro specifications are also provided for free.
This is a report saying that after receiving an email about reduced specifications on a free account and seeing the same notice on the login screen, the user upgraded to a paid account and saw this free allowance information. The free usage allowance equivalent to 4 cores and 24GB remains available after switching to a paid plan.
If you create multiple servers, they share the free allowance for the account. No separate usage period or coupon information has been provided. A notice about reduced specifications may be issued while the account is free.
