How does the hobby plan work?

I am a bit confused on how the hobby plan works. It costs $5/month + resource usage + 5$ of usage monthly. Say my resource usage is $10 a month. Does it mean I pay $15 a month and I get $5 back (from the 5$ usage montly)? Also can you set usage limits to your project?

if your resource usage is 10$ a month you will pay 10$ because you pay the fixed 5$ and that includes 5$ of usage

If you're still confused, I explained it in a lot of detail here https://discord.com/channels/713503345364697088/1131509882101702777/1131512235802501170 Essentially, works the same as before but with a 5 dollar minimum

is there a way I can make it so that I dont pay for extra usage? like a usage limit

Oh, that has been suggested many times before, not sure if it's a planned feature but at the moment you can't yet

assuming you dont have any memory leaks and have written efficient code, 2 or less dollars for an express app

I was gonna say 2 dollars but I didn't want to pull a number out of my ass 🤤 glad I guessed right tho

and unless you plan on ignoring your emails for a while, it would be pretty hard to get any surprise bills
