As of today my Heroku app is not running with this message.

Looking at the notice, it says that you can upgrade to a paid plan.
However, no matter how much you look around, they do not operate a separate customer center. And they only direct me to this site.
I'm afraid that if I paid then only lost the money and couldn't get a refund.
Is there a customer center or other countermeasures that I don't know about?

I have a question about running my Twitter bot 24/7, and I already have it uploaded to Heroku. The code works great.
However, the dynos will fall asleep after 30 minutes of non-use. This is great, however, my code is programming to tweet the same thing once a day.
In order to keep the dynos alive, the code has to be run every 30 minutes. The tweet, however, is the same thing once a day.
Is there a way to keep the Twitter code running when receiving a duplicate?
It seems like you want to bypass the limit, but that is not possible. if you keep running that service all day your free hours will expire.
Verified accounts come with a monthly pool of 1000 Free dyno hours; unverified >accounts receive 550. When a Free dyno is active, it draws from the pool; your free >apps can run as long as there are dyno hours left in your monthly pool.
instead, better to upgrade the Heroku to the premium version.
I've had this heroku account for almost two weeks, but in the billing section my free dyno hours used this month remains at 0%. This isn't possible because I've set an uptimerobot to hit my heroku API every 29 minutes (to prevent it from sleeping).
Contemplating upgrading to Hobby so accurate info is nice to have here.
Disclaimer: Please tell me if the question is too broad, and I will do my best to narrow it down.
We have an Heroku app which is running 2 web 1X dynos. This infrastructure has been running for the last 9 months.
However, in the last few weeks, we had several episodes where the app would see its response times skyrocketing for about an hour, before returning to normal without us doing anything about it.
On the pictures below, you can find an extract of Heroku Metrics during one of these "episodes", which happened yesterday afternoon.
As you can see, response time is going up and eventually, almost any request made to the server gets a timeout. During the event, it was barely possible to even load the home page of our website, hosted on this app. Most of the times, we would get the "Application Error" Heroku page.
What I see is:
The amount of requests to the server (failed or not) was not crazily high (less than 1000 every 10 minutes). For this reason, I think a DDOS attack is out of the picture.
Everything that is shown by Heroku Logs is that the failed request get a 503 (Service Unavailable) error, which would make me think about an overload.
The dynos do not seem overloaded. The memory usage is low, and the dyno load is reasonable, nothing unusual.
Heroku reported no issue during our crash event, as https://status.heroku.com/ states (last incident was on the 1st of July).
Restarting the dynos through several methods (from the interface, a command line or triggering an automatic deployment via our Gitlab repository) had no effect.
I am quite unsure as to how to interpretate these metrics, and what would be the solution to ensure this kind of episode does not happen again.
So my question is: where should I look? Is there some kind of documentation about how to investigate crashes on Heroku apps?
I uploaded my app bundle to the google play store over a day ago, and the status is still showing pending publication. I did some research and I read that it should only take a few hours to be rejected or accepted at most 24 hours. So I would just like to ask for advice should I upload another app bundle or just keep waiting?
I just had an info from google. There is an ongoing issue, that they've resolved, but there is a back log.
So we just need to wait.
I want to use Telegram Bot with enabled webHook,
Can I use Heroku free plan as my Bot's Url to hook up when received text message ?
I'm using Nodejs as language.
Yes, you can and it works fine. But Heroku will try to freeze your app for some time. In fact it can't be active for more than 18 of the last 24 hours.
And if you will prevent it, with ping your app or your bot will continuously receive messages, your app will recharge next 6 hours. It's a limit of the free plan.
I suggest that you use Openshift, it doesn't have such limits in free tier.
I guess another suggestion I can make is for you to use glitch.
I use glitch for all the bots I have made so far, it's free, easy to get started with. It also has the limitation where it sleeps after 5 minutes of your bot not being active.
In a post they say the reason why and how to solve it:
Apps sleeping is a large reason why we can offer the Glitch service
for free, so it’s not something we can turn off. However, we accept
that for some use-cases, like bots with no webhooks support, that’s
not ideal. It’s possible to expose a route in your app that a web cron
service or uptime monitoring service can hit and cause your bot to
wake. Doing that every 5 mins or so should do what you want.
Hope it helps.
I have a couple of telegram bots hosted on Heroku's free plan, with webhooks active.
They work fine but as mentioned in other answers the app is put to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity: webhooks will reactivate it but when waking up there will be some lag and rarely some malfunctions (I lost a couple of commands).
There is a monthly limit of usage time but unless the bot is heavily used I found that this has not ever been a problem.
All in all I like the service, especially since it is free.
