They also shut down the VPSs they deem to be “too active” as in using too much resources, if you’re on the always free tier
Though there are no other cloud hosting providers that give you VPS with public IP and 24GB RAM for free. Oracle did shutdown my VM like 2 times in 3 years, but considering I paid them $0 it's borderline awesome service.
This seems risky, Oracle Cloud shuts down VPS they deem to be "inactive", in other words, not under any load or traffic. This would fit that category.
Love the intro to self-hosting your email, but aren't you going to be flagged as spam by the main providers anyhow?

Have you upgrade from the always free plain to the Pay as You Go subscription?
I mostly use them as my personal build server and VPN.

Sounds like you got further than me, they simply permabanned my payment information (also cannot complain too much since i didn’t pay a dime either, but seriously?!)
Note: There’s an easier, more canonical way to do that:

You can partially mitigate it by making sure DMARC, DKIM, and SPF are configured right. There are tools online you can use to verify they're setup right, don't remember which sites though.
I have used mxtoolbox.com in the past. However, I don't know how reputed they are. Note that the 'big mail providers' won't accept your mails even after you apply every known trick in the book. This is especially true for the two biggest ones that provide free services and hosted services on customers domains.

That is the free tier. The fix is very simple. You add a credit card but not go over the free tier usage limits. Then they don't touch your stuff and you still don't pay anything. (Free tier applies to everyone including paying customers)
No thanks.

And then, poof, something goes wrong, Oracle bills you a kilodollar and now you need to fight _Oracle_ if you want any recourse. No thanks.
