Autopay server costs for credit card on render.com does not work often causing downtime

I am using @renderinc for deploying CodeX API as a service. The biggest challenge I am facing right now, is with auto repayments of the API, they have my credit card details and even then I have to manually pay otherwise the API goes down causing downtime and a bunch of folks mailing me (which I appreciate as they act as a payment reminder for me). Idk what the hell is render's problem, I tried reaching them but got no response. It's quite annoying, I was planning on switching back to heroku, but then found out heroku has some beef with india issued credit cards. I think I looked into digital ocean as well, it costs 20USD for hosting the same API that costs 7USD on render, and I think might be lesser on heroku. Apologies to everyone that has to face the downtime of the API due to this, I'll try to make my payments on time, I just keep forgetting about it. And if you could, share this discussion with @renderinc so that they help get this shit together.

Shifting to choreo.dev by @wso2, and moving out of render, it's not only more affordable, but also more performant, and hopefully will be more stable. Let's see how this goes!
