Context

When you have a Personal account, you receive 500 free build minutes each month. You may be wondering whether enabling billing on your Personal account will affect these free minutes or if you'll start being charged immediately for usage.

Answer

Yes, you will always receive 500 free build minutes on your Personal account, even after enabling billing. Enabling billing does not remove your free minute allocation.

When you enable billing on your Personal account, you will:

1. Continue to receive your 500 free build minutes each month

2. Only be charged for usage that exceeds the 500 free minutes

3. Not be charged for the first 500 minutes of usage each billing cycle

This means you can safely enable billing without worrying about losing your free minute allowance.
