Hey Oracle community,

I'll be honest — I'm writing this after an evening of quiet, exhausting frustration. Not the loud, angry kind. Just the kind where you've done everything right, triple-checked everything, and still can't get through.

I'm a developer from Ahmedabad, India, actively building an AI SaaS service. I specifically chose Oracle Cloud for the Always Free ARM tier — planned my entire infrastructure around it, read the docs, watched the tutorials. Everything except actually being able to sign up.
