On the far low end, BuyVM has a $15/year plan (1 core, 128M ram, 15G disk, 500G bandwidth).

Has been working well so far (a few years), though haven't really been close to any resource limits (yet).

Depending what core that is, you get more on the Google Cloud free tier (600MB RAM, 30GB disk). But: only 30GB outgoing bandwidth.

Thought it was 1G transfer max (not sure which direction or both)

That's really cheap, you couldn't even run a RPi at home for that.

I would use for anything I put on a RPi: a DNS server, a MQTT backend, some light backends for a web app (I need to connect to some light services and prices their output into a JSON), a monitoring service,...
