Hi all, I appreciate that the correct space for this is probably the Oracle Cloud Customer Connect Community (I think - having gone round and round in circles trying to find where to discuss OCI issues). I haven't been able to set up an account there yet for various reasons but am in the process of doing so.
Anyway, seeing as OCI always free has had the hard sell as a good place for apex development, I'll ask here as well just in case anyone knows the answer.
I have created an Apex app on a free autonomous database. The app is used daily monday-friday. However every 7 days (I think) the DB suddenly stops, and I have to log into my tenancy and manually start it.
So it would appear that the "if you don't use it for 7 days it gets stopped" rule is being tripped. Fine, but I use it nearly every day! Do I in fact have to log into my cloud account AS WELL at least once a week to ensure everything keeps running? If so that is a real pain..
If anyone else is using the free tier for development and has any tips, that would be handy. (yes I tried the free 'chat' support - but I got as much help as expected, being a 'free' user ;-)
Cheers.
