Has anyone noticed that oracle keeps changing the idle requirements for compute instances?

I just checked their docs:

  • CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 20%
  • Network utilization is less than 20%
  • Memory utilization is less than 20% (applies to A1 shapes only)

In May it was 15% and in March it was 10%.

Is there anyway I can keep my compute instance without having them keep reclaiming it?

    This also helps with scoring an A1 instance in the first place. Took several days to get my first one (using the script). And then when I wanted to nuke that one to recreate it I instantly hit the "out of capacity" message again.

    Switched to a PAYG account and instantly got a new instance. Still never pay a dime.
