快讯，你的DO羊毛实例下个月就没了

早知道不省吃俭用了

一直不敢多花只开了2c2g…

吓我一跳，我还以为是 Durable Objects

刚开通就发现快没了

真的很傻逼do这次搞得，什么也没说就把用户耍了

这种就是格局太小，羊毛党有羊毛党的好处，再说了这种羊毛党也是有消费能力的好吧

想问一下是不是vps可以升级配置的，我还剩150多哦

我觉得有一点，你之前开通的，起码正常用完才有可能当保留客户把。容易斗米恩升米仇。或者给一些其他的优惠，比如以比较低的价格续一下也不是不行，这一刀切了，不过正价来说16刀就个人用2核2g有点太贵了

我已经交工单开冲了。

DigitalOcean Support Team,

I am submitting this as a formal complaint regarding DigitalOcean’s decision to wind down participation in the GitHub Student Developer Pack and force all credits provided through the pack to expire on July 31, 2026.

When I redeemed the GitHub Student Developer Pack offer, the offer was clearly presented as a $200 platform credit for 1 year. That was the basis on which I decided to redeem and use DigitalOcean. Now DigitalOcean is telling users that these credits will expire on July 31, 2026 regardless of when they were redeemed.

This is unacceptable.

You cannot advertise an offer as “$200 credit for 1 year,” allow students to rely on that representation, and then later shorten the usable period because DigitalOcean has decided to end its participation in the program. From a user and consumer perspective, this feels misleading, unfair, and unreasonable. It gives the impression that DigitalOcean believes it can change the practical terms of an offer after users have already relied on it.

To be clear, I am not asking for anything beyond what was originally represented. I am asking DigitalOcean to honor the original one-year credit period from my redemption date.

The fact that DigitalOcean is ending future participation in the GitHub Student Developer Pack should not punish users who already redeemed the offer under the understanding that they would receive $200 in credits for one year. Ending the program prospectively is one thing; cutting short credits already granted under a one-year representation is completely different.

Please escalate this ticket to a supervisor or the appropriate team. I would like a clear written response explaining:

1. Why DigitalOcean is not honoring the originally advertised one-year term for already-redeemed GitHub Student Developer Pack credits;


2. Whether DigitalOcean will extend my credit expiration date to preserve the full one-year period from my redemption date;


3. If not, what equivalent compensation or remedy DigitalOcean will provide;


4. How DigitalOcean considers this fair to users who redeemed the offer based on the explicit “$200 credit for 1 year” representation.


5. Whether DigitalOcean believes that broad promotional terms give it unlimited discretion to change or shorten an advertised offer after users have already relied on it, and whether DigitalOcean considers that a fair and honest way to treat student users.

I have retained copies of the relevant GitHub Student Developer Pack offer language, DigitalOcean’s email notice, and my account credit information. If DigitalOcean refuses to honor the original one-year representation, I may escalate this issue to GitHub Education and relevant consumer protection channels, because this conduct is unfair and misleading to students who relied on the advertised offer.

I want to be absolutely clear: I am extremely dissatisfied and angry about this situation. I am not asking for sympathy, a generic explanation, or a workaround. I am demanding that DigitalOcean honor the offer exactly as it was presented.

The offer was advertised as “$200 credit for 1 year.” I relied on that representation when redeeming it. DigitalOcean should not be allowed to take that away after the fact. My demand is simple: restore the full one-year credit period from my redemption date.

Please do not respond with boilerplate language about promotional terms. This complaint is about DigitalOcean making a clear promise to users and then attempting to walk it back. Escalate this ticket and confirm that my GitHub Student Developer Pack credit will remain valid for the full one-year period originally advertised.

Awaiting your written response,
