Free tier	'New workspaces get $30 of free credit, once per person ... and the tour starts a box on it with no card. It does not refill.' While on the credit alone: sizes Nano to Small only, one box at a time, no process at full CPU for more than 30 minutes. unit mixed; metered on wall-clock; Smallest grant, but the only one whose meters let a single credit run a box for multiple months.
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	On the free credit 'Nano, Micro, Extra Small, or Small only'; Medium and larger answer `409 tier_unavailable`. A Nano is 2 vCPU / 2 GB / 40 GB at USD 0.014 an hour awake.
Retention	Asleep, a box costs only its disk at USD 0.0001 per GB-hour; a Small asleep for a month is about USD 22. Credit rolls over up to two months of the plan.
Egress	No egress charge or allowance is stated on the billing page.
Identity	email 'the tour starts a box on it with no card' and the credit is once per person by email or by Google or GitHub account. No card, no phone, no ID at signup; paid plans use Stripe Checkout, cards only.
Limits	volume-quota USD 30 one-time free credit, once per person source volume-quota one box at a time on the credit source volume-quota no process at full CPU for more than 30 minutes on the credit source The 30-minute full-CPU rule can pause the workspace and answer 409 workspace_held on the next create or wake; it is a use cap that no other provider here imposes.
Binding	volume-quota The 30-minute full-CPU rule is what fails first for any real build; the credit itself is generous at the Nano size.

Reliability	On the credit a box auto-pauses itself after 2 hours idle unless the window is changed or switched off per box; it never pauses in its first 24 hours.
Notes	USD 30 / USD 0.014 = 2,143 hours, which is 89 days of a 2 vCPU / 2 GB box with no card. The page's own claim of 'about three months on a Nano' matches. This is the longest no-card calendar coverage and it is a real VM, not a sandbox, but a 2 vCPU / 2 GB box is also the smallest shape any row here offers for a full month.
Evidence rung	documented Every number is from the billing page read today. Not observed: whether the 30-minute CPU rule is enforced by cgroup throttling or by pausing, which decides whether a long build is slowed or killed.
