CockroachDB {{ site.data.products.basic }} clusters scale based on your workload so that you will only pay for what you use beyond the free resources. Each non-contract CockroachDB {{ site.data.products.cloud }} organization is given 50 million [Request Units](#request-units) and 10 GiB of storage for free each month. Free resources do not apply to contract customers. Free resources can be spent across all CockroachDB {{ site.data.products.basic }} clusters in an organization and will appear as a deduction on your monthly invoice.

Setting resource limits will allow your cluster to scale to meet your application's needs and maintain a high level of performance. You must [set resource limits]({% link cockroachcloud/basic-cluster-management.md %}#edit-cluster-capacity) if you've already created one free CockroachDB {{ site.data.products.basic }} cluster. To set your limits, you can either set storage and RU limits individually, or enter a dollar amount that will be split automatically between both resources. You can also choose an unlimited amount of resources to prevent your cluster from ever being throttled or disabled.
