Two ways Render keeps billing you after you think the resource is gone

previews.expireAfterDays in render.yaml only governs Pro-plan preview environments, so per-service PR previews on Hobby live until the PR closes; and a Postgres major-version upgrade leaves behind an -upgrade-clone-NNNN instance that nothing deletes. Both are invisible in the service list unless you ask for previews explicitly.
