The short answer
A charge from NEON* COMPUTE OVERAGE corresponds to serverless PostgreSQL compute hours, database branching, or storage consumption from Neon Tech Inc.
Why it shows up like this
Neon is a serverless PostgreSQL database with architecture that separates storage from compute, offering instant database branching and auto-suspending compute.
The descriptor typically reads NEON* COMPUTE OVERAGE, NEON TECH, or NEON.TECH. Launch plans ($19/mo) and Scale plans bill monthly for active compute hours ($0.16/Compute Unit-hour) and storage beyond base quotas.
Don’t recognize it? Common scenarios
- A PostgreSQL database remained active without auto-suspend, consuming compute unit hours.
- An ongoing Launch or Scale plan subscription renewed on the credit card.
- Database branching accumulated data storage and point-in-time recovery history.
How to locate the invoice and cancel
- Log in to Neon Console Open console.neon.tech and sign in with your GitHub or email account.
- Review Project Billing review to Project Settings > Billing to inspect compute hours, storage size, and download past invoices.
- Downgrade to Free Tier Select Change Plan and choose the Free Tier (0.5 GB storage, auto-suspend enabled) to stop recurring payments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Neon auto-suspend save costs?
When auto-suspend is enabled, Neon pauses database compute after 5 minutes of inactivity, reducing compute unit billing to zero until the next query arrives.
Are Neon compute overages refundable?
Consumed compute hours and storage fees are non-refundable. Configuring compute limits prevents unintended charges.
