Oracle Cuts Always Free Ampere A1 Limits Without Public Notice
Oracle has reduced the Always Free Ampere A1 compute allowance from 4 OCPUs and 24 GB of RAM to 2 OCPUs and 12 GB of RAM. The company has not made a public announcement, and support responses are inconsistent about whether pay-as-you-go accounts are also affected, while documentation suggests the new limits apply to all tenancies.
