too lazy is a bit uncharitable. These terms tend to be buried 8pt font disclaimer text and esoteric metering matrixes.
meanwhile in size 72 font on the marketing page it says FREE STATIC SITE HOSTING!
that's why this thread is more or less condemning scammy business practices.
[edit] check out this forum explanation from render.com billing:
> Free Tier Services are suspended, no overage charges. Paid Tier Services are unaffected (Free Tier Services can be upgraded to a Paid Tier, this isn’t an overage because you are manually intervening.) Exceeding allotted Bandwidth does result in automatic overage charges. $30 for additional 100 GB blocks. Exceeding Pipeline Minutes results in deployments failing and no overage charges by default, you can configure whether you want to allow overage charges for additional blocks of Pipeline Minutes.
I still don't understand, free tiers are suspended so no overage charges, but then how can they exceed bandwidth of which we're liable? x_X
Possibly making explicit that while it might go over before their suspension logic kicks in, you won't be charged for it on a free tier.
