If you used it in the last 8 months and didn’t get restricted you won’t be now. Reading comprehension and stuff.

We actually don't know. The email doesn't indicate if the available compute will stay the same.

Read it again. If they would change the compute amount they would have to tell you that’s how contracts work and no google is not dumb enough to do it behind your back………

The change is meant to provide increased visibility in your paid compute consumption.

Yeah, I was looking on Google Colab Github page. There were some issues about "Hey! I got a Pro(+) account, and I'm keeping to be limited, but I don't know how I can check how much resources I still have" kind of messages.

I think this is one of the reasons Google is switching to this model.

By far, the biggest user complaint I get is "why can't I access a GPU" which this change will address.
