Many (all?) of the cloud providers offer credits to startups (credits as in free $ to spend on their services). So if they hadn’t burned through that, there would be no payment yet. (The startup I work at got $20k in credits and didn’t pay a dime for the first year)

I knew they gave credits, but I didn't realize it was to the level of $20k worth of credits. I think I got a couple hundred from DO.
