If you don't spend the full amount of the initial grant or one of its parts before upgrading to the paid version, you can use the remaining amount depending on when the grant expires:

  • The grant expires before you upgrade to the paid version.

    The remaining amount expires and you can't use it to pay for Yandex Cloud services after upgrading to the paid version.

  • The grant expires after you upgrade to the paid version.

    You can use the remaining amount to pay for services, but only until the grant expires: as soon as that happens, the remaining amount expires, too.
