A free Server GTM container costs nothing and needs no card. Each free container has its own 30-day date, counted from the day you made it, and you renew it by hand in the app, for free. This keeps containers nobody uses from running forever.
Every container is on its own: renewing one does not change the dates of the others, and one that is not renewed stops alone. This is the same whether or not you also pay for other containers.
How to renew
In the last 7 days before a container's date, a Renew button appears in three places:
- on the container's page, under Plan,
- on its card in the Containers list,
- in Billing, next to that container.
Renewing adds 30 days to the container's current date, so renewing early loses nothing: renewing 6 days before or 1 day before gives the same new date.
Timeline for one container
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| 7 days before its date | We email you, naming the container, and the Renew button appears. |
| On its date | If it was not renewed, that container is stopped. Your other containers keep running. |
| While it is stopped | You can still renew it. It starts again with 30 days from that day. |
| 7 days after it stopped | If it is still not renewed, the container and its data are deleted. |
Requests
A free container has 15,000 requests per 30 days. The count follows the same 30 days as its renewal date, not the calendar month. See Monthly Request Limits.
Want to stop renewing?
Upgrade the container to a paid plan. Its paid plan starts that day, at the full price, and renews by itself. See Server GTM Plans Compared.
Still stuck?
Open a support ticket from your dashboard and include the container name.
