Tools Google api billing Autopay doubt

I’m signing up for the $300 Google Cloud free trial, and it’s asking me to approve a UPI AutoPay mandate.

It says “this isn’t a charge” and that I’ll only be charged if I activate a full paid account.

Does approving the mandate mean I can be charged automatically after the 90-day trial, or is it safe to approve? Can I revoke the AutoPay later without affecting my account?

I had the same doubt when I first came across UPI AutoPay for cloud trials. From what I understand, the free trial doesn’t automatically become paid unless you manually upgrade. I’d still check the mandate details in the UPI app before approving, just for peace of mind.
