 ## Free Trial overview
 
-A free trial on Fly.io lasts for **7 days**, and gives you just enough room to get a real app up and running before you decide if you're in.
+A free trial on Fly.io includes 2 hours of machine runtime or 7 days of access, whichever comes first. That’s just enough to get a real app up and running before you decide if it’s a fit for you.

-### Checking usage
+<div class="callout">You can add a credit card from the dashboard at any time during the trial. This lifts the resource limits and keeps your apps running without interruption. **Note: adding a card ends the free trial** and your usage starts counting toward your bill from that point on.</div>
+
+## Checking usage
 
 You can see what you’ve used and what’s left under **“Trial Status”** in the Fly.io dashboard. Machines usage (including memory) is tracked per second, while Volumes and Machine count are tracked per hour.
 
 The free trial is meant for kicking the tires. Spin something up, poke around, deploy a real app or two. If Fly.io fits your use case, great! Add a credit card to keep going. If not, no hard feelings.

 ## What happens when the free trial ends?
 
 If you don’t add a payment method by the end of your 7-day trial, or if you use up the included resources, your apps will stop running. You won’t be able to launch new machines, attach volumes, or deploy changes until billing is set up.
