Help! Hit Branch compute hours limit with minimal usage
I've reached my Neon compute hours limit with just a simple user table (2 rows only). I'm using better-auth to connect to my app hosted on an OVH Ubuntu: https://us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/virtual-instances/).
All I'm doing is basic user tracking by using Neon to store my users (account, session, user).
Could my app be keeping connections open constantly? Any tips to reduce usage?

??? @raoufchebri any clue?

Hey Marvin, this notification is regarding non-default branches, meaning any other branches your using outside of main. The main database didn’t hit a limit.
Are you using branches for development or previews?

Dev! But I feel like creating a separate db for DEV in a project is simpler than using the development branch? (At least I am not reaching that branch compute limit?)

I had same issue. First day on Neon (migrating from replit/Neon) and I have hit branch compute hours. So maybe I was using (idling) on a non-default import branch before I renamed it to produciton and made it default. So I should be ok from now, right? But then I see my total compute is 191.9 hours per month...there are 720 hours in a month, so in half a month of not using my db, I will need to upgrade to pro? I'm clearly being a muppet here. I mean I'm def not going to pause my db every night.
Please help..I know I'm the one not getting it.

1 compute hour = 1 hour on a 1 vCPU compute. If you decrease your compute size to 0.25, you can avoid burning through your compute hours before the month is over.

Scale to zero will also save compute hours by placing your compute into an idle state when it's not active. Your compute automatically starts up in a few hundred milliseconds when accessed again. Scale to zero is enabled by default on the Free plan.

Yeah but I don’t understand why it’s burnong so fast? I’m on 0.25 like seen on the screenshot

What is your branches page showing for compute hour usage? Can you post a screen cap of that?
