I got charged today for the Hobby plan and I'm confused as to why cause Fly.io didn't send any emails

Hi @jgb-solutions, hopefully I can clarify some of this.

We recently changed the default plan to the Hobby plan. When you created your new organization, it should’ve said you were signing up to a $5/month plan. We’re not trying to surprise you with bills, so let us know if that wasn’t clear!

It looks like you created the organization on the 29th - the $0.36 is the cost of the plan ($5/month) prorated for the final days of January. It seems potentially Stripe didn’t send an individual invoice for this and just added it as a debit to your account, such that it was included on this subsequent invoice. I’m sorry this is presented so confusingly. We are actively working on improving the billing experience, so that stuff like this is clearer.

We bill for usage at the end of the billing cycle, but as far as I’m aware, we’ve always billed for the monthly cost of a plan at the beginning of the cycle. I think maybe this is unexpected since you have a number of other orgs on what is now our Legacy Hobby plan, which did not include a monthly charge.

Let me know if anything needs further explanation.

edit: Just to say - all your orgs on the legacy plan will remain on the legacy plan, i.e. will not have a monthly cost. The monthly cost only applies to new organizations!
