Does Google have a reputation of shuttering their paid products?
4 comments

On the consumer side of things, they have. Nest guard has been discontinued, and Google play music has been replaced by YouTube music, which lacks some of the features of its predecessor.
This is a free product. They have a reputation for shutting down anything and everything including some paid products.
It's a free feature on GCP. Lots of things on GCP are free, because they're bundled into the overall pricing.
Google maps api got a 7000% price increase. So, not shuttered but....
We were on Google Hire when they shut it down.
