#2Out of the blue I received a bill from fly.io for ipv4 addresses. No warning about this, no email communication or anything. Forgot I even had anything on fly.io, was just some test stuff I created years ago. So if you ever tried them out but don't use them, go delete your account just in case they start billing you without warning. Oh and, don't put your credit card into a hosting service then forget about the "free" app you had on there...

It's implicit in submitting something that you think it's important... Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

#4I just came to HN to see if there was something about this here. I just got my first charge out of nowhere. I’ve had an account there for a couple years and tried it out a long time back but wasn’t actively using it.
I like fly as a service, and I have no problem with them charging, but coming out of nowhere with no prior notice is definitely frustrating and unexpected.

Sounds like fraud or theft to me?

The same fraud or theft that gives Amazon a 1.5 tn market cap?

#8I had a similar experience last year with them. Went to check the billing/invoices section on my account, there was nothing there about the charge. Usage section to see if I had passed a limit, the section wasn't even working properly and mentioned it was in beta.
Found a few people complaining on their forums about an unexpected charge but with no official resolve.
Since I wasn't hosting anything serious with them, I purged the account and have never thought about them till now.
