Right now, I'm using Bitwarden's official instance, and I am bothered that I have to use Google's Authenticator app separately for TOTP. Yes, there's also Aegis and 2FAS, but I have no idea about WebDAV servers and also don't want to rely on Google Drive for backup, also because I'm moving away from Google services.

I'm planning to run Vaultwarden on a free instance of render.com, and I wanted to know if this was a good idea? Has anyone over here tried this?

What would happen if Render changes their plans and I lose access to the database? Will I still have access to the last-stored cache on my browser extension and mobile phone? And since I'm running a Rust infrastructure, would it use less of the free plan bandwidth that Render assigns?

Do I also need to purchase a domain? Or can I access the app with Render-affixed URL?

I don't know about render.com, but as long you have a HTTPS domain, you can just use any domain.
Also, I think many services will notify you about changes of their pricing, so you can just back up the server and move them somewhere before something going up.
Some good info about Vaultwarden is in the wiki, including some installation source, there are docker, binaries, and rust, so you can pick one of them.
