Frequently asked questions

Where can I see my credits?

We're currently experiencing an interface bug where users may not be able to see the credits in your account. You can email us at hatch@digitalocean.com to confirm that your credits have been applied to your account.

Why am I still getting charged an invoice even though I should have received DigitalOcean credits?

Your credits may be applied to the incorrect team account. Please email us at hatch@digitalocean.com with your DigitalOcean account's email and the email associated with the team you want your credits applied to.

How can I get priority support?

You can create a support ticket with our support team. If you are a Hatch customer, you will automatically get placed at the top of the queue. You can also ask your peers in #advice in Hatch's Slack workspace, as they might have a solution to your question.

Can I get an extension for my credits?

Unfortunately, Hatch is a 12-month "use it or lose it" program, and we are unable to offer credit extensions.
