Will my A1.Flex instance remain Always Free after my trial expires?

in OCI - General 1 comment

My Oracle Cloud Free Trial expired on October 18, 2026. I have an existing VM.Standard.A1.Flex instance created on September 18, 2026, in me-dubai-1.

The instance was originally created with 4 OCPUs and 24 GB RAM, then resized to 2 OCPUs and 12 GB RAM before the trial expired. My Cost Analysis currently shows $0.00.

Will this existing instance remain available under Always Free, or is its eligibility determined when it is initially created?

How can I verify whether this specific instance is designated Always Free? I want to avoid unexpected charges and preserve my running website without terminating the instance unnecessarily.
