How to check how many hours left?

An RStudio Cloud free account allows you 25 hours of connect time per month. Every second the RStudio Cloud is open counts towards this allocated time.

Therefore, whenever you are not running code or generating analyses, close the RStudio Cloud browser

Click on your name (see highlighted part #1). The highlighted part #2 shows the time period (e.g., "I will have 25 more hours on Aug 8, 2024"). The highlighted part #3 shows how many hours you have spent.

What to do if you exceed 25 hours per month?

25 hours of connect time is enough for this class. If you exceed this limit, open another free account using a different email address. Follow the procedures described in the RStudio lab assignment: account and packages assignment instructions.

What to do if you want your new free account to be identical (files, packages, etc.) to the previous account where you exceeded the time limit?"

There is no need for this in this class.

1. Go to the previous account where you exceeded the time limit.

2. Click "Export" (see the highlighted part)
