Oracle Cloud Server - Always Free Problem

Hello!

I asked a question the other day and was able to get my server set up... but I realized Oracle is charging my free $300 credits and that means after 30 days I'll have to upgrade if I want to keep my server.

So I'm a bit confused on why it's charging. It says it's $2 for boot volume. I'm not sure how to change that.

I'm using an always free eligible image (Canonical Ubuntu 22.04) and shape (VM.Standard.A2.Flex). As well as a free availability domain (AD-1).

I can't afford the upgrade every month and I just don't understand WHY it's charging for the boot volume. I didn't change anything in it.

And even with only 1 OCPU and 6 GB of memory, it still says boot volume $2.
