not inflation, just replit; they COULD make the price reasonable but … you are literally paying 7 dollars for 80 cents worth of product + a few extras (I’d estimate you’re getting about … 3 dollars value)…
I think this thread is getting toxic. I understand the frustration, but having a service running 24/7 costs money and the repl asks is peanuts in comparison to the most basic service out there.
I’m not asking for replit to refund me. I’m asking for replit to take 88 cycles from my account and decrease my egress traffic count by 11gb. GCP charges an 8 cent fee per gb of traffic, so it’s completely reasonable to expect replit to do this.
