So i still had the instances to see if i will be billed. but so far I they didn't. I guess those changes are for only the new users and not the old. or they might have seen the reaction of the users and decided to back off.

That was really cool! It was one of the impressive exploit i have ever read about. I really hope they give you something in return for your service, at the very least a thank you.

Yeah, I will probably go and post on r/webdev subreddit so more devs will get this news.
Edit: yeah i couldn't because i had low karma on reddit. if someone can they should do it.

Yeah, usually in their support chat i would usually be let in but now i had a queue with almost 50 people. I assume everyone wants to get clarification on this.
They might have decided to try their luck and see how many people will fall victim to their scummy tactics of not informing the users.

tbh they should have just sent out the mail, instead of doing this silently..

Oh, I didn't see your post here before! and thought i would help get the news reach more people as I don't think many people would be hanging out on reddit.

I'm going to try my luck and see if the grandfathered instances don't charged and this change is only for the new instance.

So I was shocked after seeing a reddit thread related to this here - https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1u4wqnj/psa_ora...
If i didn't see this, I would have never known this fact. I had a chat with support and they mentioned that it is indeed the case.
I'm not blaming oracle for reducing the quota, I know they have been very generous on their free tier but It would have been nice if they had atleast sent a email about this/
