Billing limit for Heroku

I am getting started on Heroku and concerned whether it will charge me for a mistake I do. For example, filling up the database over 5MB. So, is there a way to set billing limit to an Heroku or notification system to send a notification when I go over the price limit?

Thank You in Advance!

Solution

  • Dont think so. But heroku only bills u if you actually signed up for something, like an addon, that is non free. If you use up 5 megs of database, they would send u an email telling you that you are over the limit, and would simply stop all INSERT operations to the database.

    Another thing to note is not to leave heroku console on longer than necessary, since that requires another worker and is billable.
