Oracle keeps changing the idle requirements for compute instances (lemm.ee)

Has anyone noticed that oracle keeps changing the idle requirements for compute instances?

I just checked their docs:

  • CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 20%
  • Network utilization is less than 20%
  • Memory utilization is less than 20% (applies to A1 shapes only)

In May it was 15% and in March it was 10%.

Is there anyway I can keep my compute instance without having them keep reclaiming it?

You could switch to a company that isn't openly hostile to its customers.

    I think a good question for newcool1230@lemm.ee is why Oracle. If they don’t have a reason to be using it, this is a great suggestion.

    I've tried a few others but Oracle was the only one that kinda worked for me. I'm open to switching to other providers if you have any suggestions. @SheeEttin@lemmy.world @thesmokingman@programming.dev

    What about Oracle made it work for you over others? Have you looked at the minors like Linode or DigitalOcean?
