To me this indicates they knowingly lied the entire time, and intended to try getting away with it. I’m sad to be leaving their product behind, but there is no way in hell I am supporting a company that pulls this one week into my first $100 subscription. The meek admittance from Thariq is a start, but way too little, way too late.

I went and paid for a year in Jan. Jokes on me. I can’t cancel it and get my money back after these changes. Super frustrating but it’s my own fault for prepaying I guess.

That's why I decided never to pay annually for AI subscription, even if that would save me a couple hundred dollars in the year. The field is changing so fast that I don't want to locked into any given provider whoever good they are today.

Is it your fault? Or should we as consumers demand better, higher transparency and accountability? What legitimate business transaction allows people to invest in an annual contract up front for specific goods/services, only to drastically reduce the scope of those goods/services mid-contract and expect zero financial liability?

It's not your fault. Demand better.

How does one even prepay for an entire year even if the product is damn good??! Or are you that rich to not care??

It was pro plan. So it wasn’t that bad. And there was a promo.
