Can the Free Serverless Sandbox plan be upgraded to Paid Persistent Version? That is, if I want to keep my Cluster in the Free Plan, then can I upgrade to the Paid Serverless Plan with $25 per month?

Would I be told in advance how much my Cluster will cost per month?

Also, can I specify the Billing Limits for my Paid Account? That is, how much maximum my credit card can be charged? We don’t want to be surprised by an astronomical bill at the end of the month.

Thanks.

hi @Rajesh !!

Welcome to our community 🤗

The feature of converting a free sandbox to a paid account is in our roadmap for Q4/2024.

Right now we suggest migrating your data over the new cluster using this migration guide:

> **[Migrate data | Weaviate](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/manage-data/migrate)**
>
> Overview

There is a price calculator here, click on `view price`:

> **[Pricing | Weaviate](https://weaviate.io/pricing)**
>
> Pricing models

There you can fill in the number of objects and dimensions, tier plan and get the running cost for a cluster.

We do not have a billing limit for a serverless cluster.

However, if this is a concern or a blocker, we do provide Enterprise plans that can get you a fixed resource allocation that can help you control this cost closer.

For that I suggest your [contacting our sales team](https://weaviate.io/pricing#contact-sales).

Let me know if this helps or if I can assist you further.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for your reply. I have a follow-up question.

Does Weaviate send warning messages that Customer’s Free Sandbox Cluster is about to be deleted and that within a stipulated period they should transition their Data to the Paid Cluster.

Please let me know if the Weaviate sends such a warning in advance.

Thanks again,

Rajesh

hi @Rajesh !!

It will send you a warning email that the sandbox is about to expire, and you can even extend the trial a couple times 😉
