I messed up and recived a $1000 invoice, please help.

Posted on January 1, 2022

Hi all, I got a question. I am a developer that was playing with digital ocean. Used a script to spin up couple of droplers/k8 clusters. I think I messed up and did not shut all of them.

Today I have received an invoice for $1000 dollars on my billing. Luckily it was bounced back. So I got pale after seeing it.

My question is. If I do not need my account. Can I just shut it down with all the clusters and this will be forgotten? Or will DO try to pursue this invoice and sue me or something?

Really sorry, I know this is my bad

Hey @dawidgaleziewskidev,

In our public community, we aim to answer open questions about anything SysAdmin, DigitalOcean and beyond. However, we make every attempt to keep personal information safe and so don’t ever access personal account information here. This means we can’t provide help with any account or billing-related issues.
