I just joined someones heroku app as a collaborator and all we need is 1000 hours a month. So he added his cc but now I cannot select a free dyno. If i turn on a dyno it says $7 rather than 0. How can I downgrade to free dynos again?
From Heroku documentation
Free dynos, which are available for personal apps, are not available to Teams.
Create your own applications and use them for free, but cannot share this with anyone else.

Heroku has a 550-hour free dyno plan which is great but doesn't cover a full month. They offer a way to get 1000 hours, but it requires linking a credit card.
The problem:
I want to have my application be 'down/sleeping' eg. not using the hours between certain hours of the day? I can't seem to find a way of doing this? There seems to be some addon's that could potentially do this but they require a credit card to be linked anyways.
Does anyone in the community know a way of scheduling dynos free without having a card linked?
since some time I cannot choose the free dyno option anymore on heroku and wondering why that is? I could not find any hints in the docu
here on the left I could choose the free dyno option in the past. Now its gone.
When I simply switch off the dyno, the app does not work anymore:
How can I get back to free dyno usage on heroku for my app?
The app referenced above is part of heroku teams, this is why free dynos are not possible there.

I have developed a bot by modifying the template provided from https://github.com/microsoft/botframework-sdk. The bot works perfectly in the Bot Framework Emulator.
I have tried to deploy it by using my trial account. it looks like it is lack of some accesses, which i am not quite sure.
my question is, if i plan to deploy this bot into MS teams installed on my computer, can it be fulfilled by using my trial account in Azure? or i need to purchase a paid account?
Regards,
It's completely possible to run in on Azure, and everything will work 100% fine a free trial account, or of course with a paid account. Be aware that the "web app bot" template will default to a "standard" pricing model in Azure, which will use $70 of your credit, so you should change it to a cheaper price plan immediately, especially if you're just using this for development. There's even a "Free" option (i.e. free forever, even after the Free Trial expires), but then it's limited to how many hours per day the bot will run.
Another option is to host your bot in an Azure Function ("serverless"), but it's a lot more work as the samples and wizards on the internet mostly use the Azure Web App model, so you'd need to manually convert it over to running that way. Certainly you can get started with the free trial though!
As another completely possible option, if this is just for development, then you can run the bot on your local machine, using Ngrok, which creates an real, live "https" address for you, that Teams can accept to work with your bot, even though it's running from your local machine. This is of course great for development/debugging, but not realistic for a live deployment.
No, I don't have any add-ons that charge me.
I tried reading how the free Dynos work but I didn't find anything regarding this issue. Here is an image
I'm no expert (just deployed my first app), but it seems that there's a clear indication of free or not in the overview tab for your app. For example, I see
on my app page. Presumably one would turn paid features on and off using the Configure Dynos link.
I am thinking of chaqnging one my app from free to paid to further support the development. If do this change and enabled a trial, what wil hapen with existing users after they update the app from marketplace? Will they have the full paid version or will they be in trial? It does not seem fair if they wil get stuck in trial.
Anyone who installs your app while it is free has basically purchased your app for free. So if you update the price, it won't affect those users because they've already "purchased" the app. They'll receive any further updates to the full version of your app.
