Make sure you have backups, they randomly shut mine down after a couple of years

Yep, it’s all backed up locally. I figure eventually they’ll shut it down as they’re losing a fair bit of money.

sure it wasn’t related to the server center that caught on fire due to an UPS update?

They disabled my account without any notice, I tried to login to see why my VM wasn’t responding and found they’d deactivated Oracle cloud services. It’s also difficult to get in touch with support as there’s multiple different portals and with the cloud services disabled I struggled to find a way to raise a relevant ticket. When they eventually responded they gave some generic BS about their ToS.

My suggestion for anyone using Oracle free tier is stay on it if you want, but be prepared for the eventuality that they shut everything down without notice or access to your data.

Would be helpful to let everyone know the TOS you violated.
