One small technical question regarding free tier. As far as I get throttled bandwidth to both network and disk is only limitation. Is it right?

Also I found instances becoming unavailable randomly for no apparent reason so I keep my testing VMs on $5 Hetzner instances.

And yeah no way to run own mail server either because editing of reverse DNS records is not allowed on always-free tier.

Yes, I wouldn't recommend mail server on the free tier but bandwidth issue should not occur, which region are you provisioned for? That could be a factor. Anyways just contact support and someone should help you quickly https://www.oracle.com/corporate/contact/ (also try talk using the life chat on website)
