There seems to be a $1 minimum charge on all accounts, regardless of whether or not you use them[1]

Yes, that is what I pay ("basically nothing")

So "free DNS hosting" is misleading marketing? (I signed up but wasn't asked for credit card info).

IIUC this is by design. If you have an account with them you will pay at least $1/month. The only way to get rid of this is to delete the account.

TBF you can keep the account dormant if you delete all the resources. I have like $3 in balance left for over a year now.

From TFA:

> As with all bunny.net services, accounts using the platform are subject to our standard $1/month minimum spend
