A comment on The $5 Plan.

From what I've noticed, Fly handles abuse in a different way.

- Require Credit Card on sign-ups.

- Always charged for bandwidth (but 5x less than Railway: 0.02/GB after 160GB vs 0.10/GB).

- If Fly catches you running a VPN/Proxy, no free bandwidth for you; $10/mo minimum: https://community.fly.io/t/4896

- If everything's a-okay, no charges if monthly use is less than $5: https://community.fly.io/t/11133/7

Fly use to not require a credit card and could use the free tier. I setup a few instances just to trial about a year ago, about 6 months ago these instances started costing about $12 per month, I just logged in the other day to discover this. I feel now if I wanted to use their services they would back bill me for these test accounts I wasn’t using. Feel they could have notified me when they started charging so I could have shutdown the accounts.
