Question
What happens to my CC when free credit runs out?
I signed up with the intention of only using the $5 free credit, turns out you need to add a Credit Card to verify your account and thus use the free credit.
My question is when I’ve ran out of credit is my CC going to be charged? I’m under the impression that the CC was ONLY for verification, but I feel if I forget to cancel the account before my credit expires that I will incur charges.

Almost any and every service that is paid will require you to supply a valid credit card when you sign up. It is on you to remember to cancel the service before your card is charge, it’s just like other paid service/bill.
It is also stated here in the Pricing and Billling: https://www.digitalocean.com/help/pricing-and-billing/
Almost any and every service that is paid by a CC lets you remove the CC when you want to cancel payments, DO does not. I don’t want to completely remove my account, I’ll probably use it in the future I just don’t need a VPS next month or after.
I’m trying to do exactly that. Also to add to this I don’t want my credit card on file anymore for security reasons.
