Not able to create heroku-redis for my heroku application
I have been trying to add a heroku-redis add on to my django application deployed on heroku,usually free add-ons like heroku PostgreSQL and heroku-redis should not need me to verify my account with billing but for some reason I can't create a heroku-reddis add-on but can normally create Heroku Postgres add-on Here's the error I'm getting
usually free add-ons like heroku PostgreSQL and heroku-redis should not need me to verify my account
That's not quite right. Among other reasons, account verification is required to (emphasis added):
Add any add-on to the app, even if the add-on is free. The only exceptions to this are the free plans for the Heroku Postgres and Heroku Connect add-ons, which can be used without verification.
So, yes: You can use the free tier of Heroku Postgres without account verification. But in general, to add an addon, even a free one, your account must be verified. That includes Heroku's Redis service.
As long as you stick to free services, you won't be billed (though you may see a temporary hold while verification takes place).
