You can get away with the cheapest vps plan at basically any provider. I'd recommend Hetzner though, been with them for like 2 years or so and never had any issues.

How much is it?

[lilac forge]

like 5$

It more than good enough for a discord bot

You can most likely find one thats like $1-2 on another provider

I got GitHub student pack, is it possible for me to use anything like that for free? Like Microsoft azure?

[lilac forge]

You should be able to dockerize your bot and run it on azure

Although I have no experience with azure

DigitalOcean?

I’ve been using Railway for a long time now. Works great for me and is reasonable.

If you have any old device available that can run node, use that
Oracle also offers a free 1 core 1gb ram server that is pretty much always available and should be fine for a more basic bot, in fact I use it as a proxy for my self hosted mc server (albeit with under 10 people)
