Oct 1, 2025October 2025 (2025-10) – Key documentation enhancement in ClickHouse/docs: Added Billing FAQ entry clarifying credit card management. The Billing FAQ explains that direct deletion of credit cards is not possible via the UI, outlines how to update cards, and provides steps and guidance on when to contact support for removal.
