Common Issues & Solutions

Can't access billing

Only account owners or users with billing permissions can access billing. Contact your team owner to grant billing access.

Team billing vs personal

If you're on a team account, billing is managed at the team level. Access the team billing section, not personal account billing.

Understanding hourly vs monthly billing

DigitalOcean charges hourly for resources but caps at monthly rate. Invoices show total monthly usage. Deleted resources show prorated charges.

Credits and invoice amounts

If you have promotional credits, they're applied to invoices automatically. The invoice shows gross amount minus credits for net charge.
