If I deliberately found a vulnerability that allows you to use the services of an Internet company for free
What will happen if this company finds out that I am using this vulnerability?

The same as any other company that finds out that they are being stolen: they will close the vulnerability and / or go to court.

Unfortunately, the current legislation in the Russian Federation (are we talking about the Russian Federation?) does not imply "white hacking".
Thus, only a person who was specially hired for this (well, or who has it in his duties) can look for vulnerabilities.
History knows different outcomes of such situations - quite happy (cash bonus and / or offer), average (no bonus, but there were no problems) and bad (up to the real time).
How to act - it's up to you. However, in any case, you should not exploit this vulnerability. On the other hand, if you just keep silent and use the Internet, the probable maximum of liability is only compensation, for a maximum of 3 years.
