Quick answer

Weaviate Cloud Flex is monthly with no commitment (from $45/month), so cost stops when you stop using it. Premium is a prepaid contract, so contact sales. The Free sandbox has no time limit.

Most likely fix: Export your data first

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Export your data first

    1. Back up or export your objects before removing the cluster
    2. Self-hosted Weaviate (BSD-3) can run the same data if you want to move
