Projects like this usually run off of Oracle cloud to take advantage of the free tier. Reclamation of resources on the free tier is not unheard of, especially if abuse or high resource usage is detected, and other cloud providers like AWS will do it too.

It's sort of the opposite. If you're on a free account with free tier and under utilize resources below a certain threshold it may get reclaimed after a while.

It's both. Create a server but never login it will be reclaimed. Try to use that 10T up and the account will be banned.
