Switch to Hobby plan

Hi, I purchased 5$ worth of credit last month, but I only used the 5$ of free usage. I am GitHub verified and currently on the developer plan, which will soon be discontinued. I haven't received any notification as stated in the FAQ. However, I do read that the subscription fee ($5/month) will be waived if I buy extra credit. Is it true that I now need to purchase at least $10 worth of extra credit, even though I don't currently need it? I thought I read in previous weeks that the developer plan will remain free for current verified users of Railway. Anyway, you guys have created a great product, and I would definitely purchase additional usage, but only when I actually need it 🙂 Thanks

Huh? Weird that they say 'Great news, we're waiving your subscription fee when you switch to Hobby! Switch to the new Hobby plan to continue using Railway without any subscription fees and with $5 of monthly usage included.' when I click on 'Purchase credits'. So I'm already on the Hobby Plan and don't have to buy more credits?

Brody
Brody•2y ago

Rens
RensOP•2y ago
But I need to buy straight away 10$ extra, so then I have 15$ I don't need right now
Brody
Brody•2y ago

Brody
Brody•2y ago
I'm sorry you got the wrong impression, there is more to it then just being verified

I understand, but the 5$/month already waved, I'm happy with that 🙂

Brody•2y ago
it was not layed out the best, I'm sorry for the confusion that's great but not everyone will get that, we don't need to go around telling people who didn't get it waived trial plan is a one time thing, you will need to upgrade to the hobby plan for continued use
DracoClaw
DracoClaw•2y ago
this is quite unfortunate...
Brody
Brody•2y ago
it can be, but $5 with 5$ in usage is a very good plan still
DracoClaw
DracoClaw•2y ago
if you've got 5usd to spare, sure. but the bot i have hosted is a hobby for a friends server
Brody
Brody•2y ago
you can always host the bot yourself, on a spare computer
DracoClaw
DracoClaw•2y ago
