The CockroachDB Cloud Free Trial offer explained

New CockroachDB Cloud organizations receive $400 in free credits that automatically apply to the first $400 of monthly charges, covering compute, storage, and bandwidth across any cluster plan. The credits are non-transferable and valid for a single organization; once exhausted, a payment method must be on file to continue service. Email notifications alert users to usage milestones, and a 30-day grace period prevents data loss if credits expire before payment is added.
