The bronze plan (4/user/mo) was burned and moved into premium (19/user/mo). If you have any sort of moderately active company, going back to free tier is really not an option (the feature reduction would be simply too much, plus a lot of previous ci/cd work would be binned).

only CI related feature previously available on bronze, but not on free anymore is branch protection. Rest of bronze CI should work just fine.

The most important one for us is the `environments` feature, but indeed a lot of four-eyes-principle controls are also missing in free tier (MR approval requirements, committer verification, push rules...).
