×Hi @fahaddos
This is the community forum (user-to-user support), so unless you’re willing to publicly share details of the charge, then we cannot help you and you must create a ticket in support of the control panel.
DigitalOcean charges based on per-hour-usage. Even if you power off a droplet, you still get charged, since you are reserving room on a physical server. Also various other things like Block Storage, Snapshots, Backup, Floating IP are part of charges.
I’m using the server for OpenVPN and I paid 5$ for it
isn’t that all ?
Usage charges for May 2017 $2.14
Question
OPENVPN (512MB)
hours :288
05-19 23:24
05-31 23:59
$2.14
@fahaddos
So you only paid $2.14 for the usage in May month - not $5. You only pay for hourly usage - meaning if you only use a droplet for 1 day, then it would be $5/30*1 which would be something like $0.17
The $5 is just the amount if you use it the entire month.
