I am a paid Heroku subscriber. I have my credit card linked to my account. Will I be charged additionally if app usage goes beyond what is included in my susbcribed plan? If so, how can I limit it to stop once all subscribed resources are exhausted?
Could not find anything in their faq.

I have three apps on heroku and currently they are unavailable maybe due to the newest update of paid plans in heroku. Now i want to pay. Do I have to pay for the three apps individually or one payment will cover the three apps.
I tried making payments but a bit confused so I need help in the right direction
If you subscribed to Eco dynos, one payment 5$ per month will cover them all. But it does not include databases if you have on Heroku. There you have to pay separately.
I deployed 5 very simple React apps on Heroku.
Today, when I wanted to add a 6th one, Heroku came up with the error message:
You've reached the limit of 5 apps for unverified accounts. Delete
some apps or add a credit card to verify your account.
Account Verification Required Your account must be verified to create
this app. Please add payment information to verify your account.
For verification Heroku basically needs me to give them my payment details.
Doe's it mean that from the 6th app, Heroku is going to charge me?
Heroku will only charge you for paid services. If you continue to use only free dynos and free add-ons you shouldn't be charged.
Note that you might initially see some holds on your card:
Every bank works differently, and some of them require a one dollar hold by the verifier before a card can be confirmed. After a few business days the hold will be released and your card will be verified if successful.
If you see multiple instances of a $1.00 charge, it may be because the card information was submitted multiple times. The duplicate holds will also be released and returned to your account after a few business days.
I am preparing my first batch of requests to google vision/natural language apis. I plan on sending enough requests to exceed the free quota. I do still have my $300 in free credits in my account. So my question is: when my script is running and passes the last free request, will google then simply start deducting from my balance and allow the script to continue running seamlessly, or will it stop the script and ask me for some user input?
Thanks
Straight Answer: No
Here is how the billing works:
Gives you a chance to use your monthly free quota
Once you use up your monthly free quota, Google will charge you
2.1. If you have credits, they will accounted for the billing first
2.2. If you don't have credits, you will be charged from the credit card
A 'Free' tier Heroku account allows up to 5 apps. How many apps does a 'Hobby' plan allow for?
I have looked on the Heroku general pricing page, detailed pricing page, and on a few related pages e.g. 'Choosing the Right Heroku Postgres Plan', but I can't see any explicit mention of how many apps I can deploy
Could it be that a "Dyno" is in fact another word for an app? And therefore there is no limit on the 'Hobby' tier, but I must pay $7/app/month?
In case it's useful to someone else the answer is:
"there is a soft limit of 100 apps per (Hobby tier) account".
The quote comes from my email to Heroku support
Although the question was on the Hobby plan, there is an update now that lets you have more than 5 apps for the Free plan (which is one reason one might have asked this question).
If you verify the account by adding a credit card on file, you can have up to 100 apps on the (verified) free plan, and still the 5 app limit for unverified.
Source (Heroku link)
According to the new rules, one can at most 5 apps if the account is not verified (no credit card details). If you add your credit card, you can have as many as 100 free apps as your account is now verified.
If we talk about free dynos, it's 550 for un-verified accounts and an additional 450 for verified accounts.

When I try to add Heroku SendGrid Addon - Starter Plan, I accidentally click "Add SendGrid Platinum Plan Addon" button. I didn't get any confirmation and add-on is added to my application automatically. I refresh my browser immediately and removed the Heroku app.
Will I be charged monthly fee for SendGrid Platinum plan? Since I deleted my application, I could not check whether SendGrid account for that old application is still active or not.
If anything you will probably be up for a few cents depending on how long you ran the addon for, but you will not be charged the full fee.
Heroku state the following within their documentation:
Databases and add-ons are prorated to the second based on their applicable monthly fee.
which means that you are only charged for the time that is used. For example, if you use it for 10% of the month, you are up for ~$40.
