Heya, we deprecated pretty loudly! We made a post on the community forum [0] and we sent an email to all active accounts saying the following: > The first improvement we're excited to announce is that the $5 Hobby plan is no more. We're replacing it with a very simple Pay As You Go plan. On this plan there's no more upfront $5 charge and no minimum monthly commitment. You only pay for what you use. If you don't use anything for a given month you pay $0. You still need a credit card on file to prevent abuse. But your card is only charged if you use the service.

random side note, it would be nice if the region selector for regional pricing would display human readable region labels in addition to 3 letter acronyms.

  yeah, it's basically impossible to compare regions right now they need a table that's a human readable name and an average/range for the cost modifier as compared to the baseline

If you're going to stand behind your product, I'm not sure posting with a throwaway sends the strongest message.

  Sorry, didn’t intend for throwaway to come across as not standing behind the product. I wrote the community forum announcement and was one of the people that worked on implementing our PAYG plan. I just wanted to clarify that we didn’t deprecate silently, so I quickly created an account to do so. Apologies for any confusion this caused!

  If anyone's ever wondering how carefully choreographed our HN presence is, please refer them directly to this subthread, which, for posterity's sake, I will note is occurring on the morning of July 4.

  I got three correspondence from fly on this matter when it happened. They absolutely were transparent and clear about it.
