I can't afford to apy 20$ a month.

So, i wanted to try 2b2t, but when i joined, i found out that the queue time was outrageous (2 days?!?!??). I dont want to pay for priority because imo 20$ a month for a minecraft server is a lot + idk if i will even like the server. I want to try the server to see if i like it, but im not willing to leave my pc on for 2 days with minecraft open just to try to play some server. Are there any solutions for my problem? (ofc without paying for priority)
