Free plan compute hours exceeded
Hi, I am on the free plan and got an email saying that I have exceeded 50 compute hours included in the free plan.
The way I understand calculation of compute hours works is:
1. if I CU is used for 1 hour, then 1 compute hour is used
2. if 0.25CU is used for 4 hours, then 1 compute hour is used
background:
1. My app is still in development and has literally no traffic, I have been monitoring CU usage and aside from some short-bursts, I have never seen it exceed 0.25CU
2. As such, I also know that db usage has not been 200 hours (including idle time before auto-suspension) in 9 days of this month
3. On the production branch, autoscaling is on - from .25 to 2CU
question:
So, I am having a hard time understanding how 50 compute hours got exhausted in such short amount of time. could someone pls help? Please let me know if any other details are required.

Additional context: I use electric sync in data layer, could that be keeping primary compute on all the time?

Neon does not scale to zero a compute that has an active connection from a logical replication subscriber.https://neon.com/docs/guides/logical-replication-neon yep, looks like that IS the case

hey @Jatan thank you for the detailed feedback.
1. The way you understand CU-hours is correct.
2. We are working on increasing the CU-hour allowance for projects on the free plan to give you much more room for this kind of use case.
3. DM me your project ID and I can temporarily increase your CU-hours limit

Hi @andyhats , great! Thank you so much for your response, have dm'ed you the project id

OK you should have plenty of compute to work with now.

That should be enough, thank you so much for your help 🙂
