Is it possible to "downgrade" an app from Hobby to Free?

I'm trying to change a dyno type from "Hobby" to "Free" on Heroku. Is it possible?

When I click on "Change Dyno Type", a dialog comes and it doesn't have "Free" option.

The goal is to switch the Dyno tier to free. But the current Dyno is in hobby tier or higher and belongs to a team. Because teams cannot have Dynos in any tier lower than hobby we will need to transfer the app to a specific user. Warning the following process will cause other people on the team to lose access.

  1. go to the Resources tab and turn off the Dyno.
  2. go to the Settings tab and transfer ownership to the designated user that will be taking over the account.
  3. log into the account that now has ownership of the app.
  4. go to the Resources tab and click the Change Dyno Type button
  5. select the free tier and turn on the dyno
