What are your thoughts on the changes of free dynos on Heroku?

pricing page for reference: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.heroku.com&#x2F;pricing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.heroku.com&#x2F;pricing</a><p>I&#x27;m sure there was massive abuse. All you needed was a script that regularly pings (well HTTP request) your dyno and it would never suspend. The next best alternative would have been free trial period. I have a friend who does Wordpress hosting and the stories I hear about their abuse cases on the free tier are scary.<p>Heroku&#x27;s free dynos still serve their purpose and are good enough for prototyping, testing and (during office hours) staging.<p>In my opinion it was the right decision.<p>(Charging $20&#x2F;month for hosting an existing SSL certificate is too expensive though. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addons.heroku.com&#x2F;ssl" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addons.heroku.com&#x2F;ssl</a>)

Pretty annoying that your website will be <i>completely down</i> for 6 hours a day.<p>Huginn can no longer be hosted on Heroku, which is making it harder for new users to try it out.
