Two further defects: the two product pages give different free allocations (3 GB with 8 GB of storage on the game tier, 1024 MB with 5 GB NVMe on the bot tier), and no page states a traffic allowance or a sleep rule. It is also a game and bot host, not a general machine.","extras":{"shape":{"vcpu":1,"ram_gib":3,"disk_gib":8,"gpu_class":null,"gpu_count":null},"billing_model":"free","term":"not published; described as 'dauerhaft kostenlos'","m10h_usd":0,"m24h_usd":0,"price_arithmetic":"EUR 0.00 for the free slot; no published rate to multiply","free_tier_kind":"free-forever-with-quota","network_out":{"allow_outbound":true,"allow_inbound_listen":true,"ports":"a game or bot port on the provider's address; not enumerated","static_ip":null,"ipv6":null,"per_session_bytes":null},"session_cap":{"wall_clock_min":null,"idle_reap_s":null,"restart_required":false,"note":"no sleep rule published for the game tier; the bot tier advertises a 24/7 auto-restart watchdog"}}},"claims":[{"path":"$.extras.m10h_usd","kind":"price","num":0,"unit":null,"per":"month","currency":"USD","usd":0,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.extras.m24h_usd","kind":"price","num":0,"unit":null,"per":"month","currency":"USD","usd":0,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.free_tier.stated","kind":"free-quota","num":3,"unit":"GB","per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.limits[0].value","kind":"limit:volume-quota","num":3,"unit":"GB","per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.limits[1].value","kind":"limit:write-gated","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"}],"unknown":[["$.egress.metered","egress-unknown"]],"history":[],"drift":[]}
