i think they've cut this down to 8gb, but i got grandfathered in. i started paying a small amount monthly for one of their services to avoid being culled because it's still a very good deal
The limit is 8 GiB of RAM / 0.125x vCPU only for the x86-64 VPSes. The ARM VPSes are still overpowered. But you may have to wait a few weeks to get one, depending on the region. They get snatched up as soon as they become available.
Strange -- they still advertise the 24 / 4 free offer on this page: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/
I know folks who have done it quite recently.
IIRC it's possible for the slider to have a lower maximum if you're already using some of the resources on another VM, since they allow splitting. This has caused some confusion for some people, possibly due to leftover block devices from deleted VMs acting as if they are taking up free RAM/CPU credits.
