You missed two months of payment and you are angry that a company closed the account? Boy do I have to tell you a story about what you can lose by not paying your AWS bill for two months… I am curious how you handle customers that do not pay and continue to not pay instead of just ending their subscription.
- piva00 2y agoIn many places I worked we would keep a user's history on the app for a long while in case they decided to resubscribe. It doesn't cost much to have a 6-12 months leeway before complete deletion. Erasing a music app data after just a couple of months is idiotic, even more for a company with such deep pockets like Apple.

My annual Apple Music subscription lapsed for one day, and my entire library was gone the next day when I resubscribed for another year. Apple are allowed to make whatever customer hostile choices they want. As a former Apple Music customer, I’m not making that mistake again.
- senpos 2y agoWhat do you lose if you don’t pay to AWS for two months? My account is still there. I can still use it. I am pretty sure it has some historic data there as well. Probably my old lambdas are still laying around.
- vbezhenar 2y agoAWS has to pay a relatively big money for keeping user data. It is understandable why they would want to delete it. Playlists are basically zero cost to store. You would spend more $ on delete processing than keeping them around for eternity. So it's just not well thought use-case, implemented without attempt to view the whole picture.
