Nothing was deployed. Zip, zero, zilch resources were used month-on-month. My fault, yes, but naively I assumed if this was the case, billing would automatically drop to zero.
Whilst I bought access to X servers but had no way to remove the charge associated with that without contacting customer services when I decided X=0, permanently.
I mean, really? I have no problem with PAYG or PAYG to a capped amount, but PAYG for a fixed amount regardless of whether or not the resources are actually deployed is disingenuous at best.
So, you simply did not read the pricing page, that explicitly says that it's going to bill you that, and that you do whatever you want with it. And /or have never used a VPS service before . You are quite literally renting space and CPU time on their servers, that they are keeping (mostly) free and reserved for you.
You don't complain that you were charged $200 for renting a parking space and never using it, no reason for this to be different for servers.
Except in this case, other cars are being parked in the space when it is "empty", and you can only find the car park attendant on every third Monday in the month to rescind the agreement
