Free tier	The pack's cloud-credit headline is gone. Quoted from the official pack changelog dated July 7, 2026: "DigitalOcean is leaving the Student Developer Pack, and their student credit offer for $200 of platform credit will no longer be available after July 31, 2026." Any remaining credits expired on 2026-08-01. unit none; metered on wall-clock; none
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	not stated
Identity	institution not published
Binding	none Two doors close: the USD 200 DigitalOcean credit ended on 2026-07-31, and the whole pack requires verified full-time student status at an accredited institution, which for a user does not hold.
Interface	unknown inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	Nothing durable. What remains in the pack is a set of one-shot coupons, mostly software licences rather than compute, and each starts a clock when redeemed.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Recorded as dead for the compute credit rather than for the pack, which still exists. The DigitalOcean offer page now redirects to the homepage and a new account gets USD 5 for 90 days, which is the trial that replaced USD 200.
Evidence rung	documented
