totally unrelated comment, he spent 3x-5x times is allocated bandwidth of 400GB, it is his fault and should have been more cautious about it

Not unrelated at all. Webflow is suddenly using the excuse of 3x bandwidth usage to justify a 3x increase in subscription price, when we know that this isn't proportionate to the underlying hosting costs.

You missed the part that this bandwidth limitation didn't exist when he signed up. Not sure how he can prove it or if he missed reading it.

[turnsout]

Exactly. You sign up when you're just playing around, and the product is free or cheap. It's easy to ignore the details of the enterprise pricing at that point, even if it exists and is prominently displayed. By the time you need enterprise pricing, you're locked in and they've got you.

I'm not anti-SaaS by any means, but it's a cautionary tale about over-reliance on services that are way outside your control.
