It should be really not that hard to price in local denominations. Netflix charges different subscription costs in different countries and they have their infra built on other cloud providers.
Cost of hardware is constant. And the generator, fuel, local electricity, wages etc. CAN be denominated in local currency if the datacenter is local. Obviously if you’re using a server in the US region while sitting in Nigeria, you have no other discourse than pay USD, but for other regions, you should be able to charge in local currencies.

Or just take a 70% haircut on their Nigerian revenue? I get local businesses want cost stability, but it seems like inflation will happen both ways: it'll just take longer to cascade through the supply chain with local-owned, local-priced providers.
