Interesting. While it doesn’t seem that unreasonable, this change would really add up if you already had a lot of droplets, and I kind of did. I suppose it’s good luck that I’ve been migrating workloads to Fly lately. Maybe I should finish the job.

To be fair, once you pass the Fly free tier, I can only guess it is more expensive, but in my case it’s made up for by being able to do much smaller VMs. Digital Ocean’s a bit more limited on how you can cut up memory and disk space (and the dynamics of k3s or kubernetes at this scale is awkward.)
