I am providing the answers below:
1. For free account users, I understand that 'A1 Ampere ARM Instance' must be recreated every 30 days. (See 'What happens when my Free Trial expires or my credits are used up?' at the bottom of the page at https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/).
ONLY for A1:
However, Ampere A1 Compute instances are disabled when your trial ends and then deleted (terminated) after 30 days, unless you upgrade to a paid account. To continue using Arm-based compute instances as an Always Free user, you must delete your existing Ampere A1 Compute instances and create new Ampere A1 Compute instances.
"So, once your trial ends and you haven't upgraded your account A1 will be disabled state, this can be re-use by "terminating" and recreating them." There is no need to terminate them again after 30 days, it will continue to exists until you terminate it.
2. Can I use the instance without a term limit? For Free Resources, there is no limit of usage. It will be active even after you are already paying a subscription.
3. Won't Oracle suspend or delete my instance arbitrarily? For Free Resources, it will remain even after the Free Trial expires or after you subscribe
위 답변은 애매한데, 그래도 "So, once your trial ends and you haven't upgraded your account A1 will be disabled state, this can be re-use by "terminating" and recreating them." There is no need to terminate them again after 30 days, it will continue to exists until you terminate it." 을 통해서
무료 계정이더라도 최초 30일 경과 시 인스턴스 정지 후에는, 다시 생성할 경우에는 30일 제한이 적용되지 않는다는 추가 정보를 얻을 수 있었습니다.
그리고 아래 추가답변을 통해 명쾌하게 정리해주시네요.
즉 유료계정 유저들에게는 30일 제한이 적용되지 않습니다.

For your additional questions:
However, this policy only applies to users with free accounts, and paid account users like me can use it without a 30-day period limit, right?
Yes, that is correct. Once you upgrade your account, there is no need to terminate it after 30 days.
"Ampere A1 Compute instances are disabled when your trial ends and then deleted (terminated) after 30 days, unless you upgrade to a paid account.
