Per @jaiayu , customers and support have expressed confusion over the $15 monthly resource benefit available to non-contract Basic customers. Primarily that it is distinct from the $400 free usage benefit offered to new customers, but also that it appears as a credit on the monthly invoice.

  • Translate the "50 million RU/10 GiB storage" benefit into $15 to match the invoice language and distinguish from the one-time $400 benefit
  • Add mentions of the benefit to other places where we discuss Basic cluster costs

When we needed to refer to customers based on their type of billing, during the rollout of new Cloud plans last year, we realized that contract and non-contract might not be sufficiently clear. (Technically, every customer signs a contract.)

I've reflected the wording we landed on - one example of each here. (You'll see a similar example in the last bullet of this release note.) Please consider finding a way to use it - or some form of it - in the other instances of non-contract, as well.

I recognize that it can get a bit wordy, and is not easily dropped in to replace "non-contract". Perhaps at some point we should define these billing types in one place and link out to them, for clarity, instead.

Looks great. Left one comment! +1 to Mike's comments on contract vs non-contract language :)
