Disclaimer: I am working on a competitor that can also run Python, on a closed beta period yet.

It is an interesting choice to increase the prices with such a short notice indeed. The cloud business for DBT is competing with its open-source version, and utilizing dbt-cloud could mean a nice inconvenience, one that can be exchanged with a steep, sudden increase in prices. In the end, what dbt does can be replicated within the existing environments the customers have along with dbt core, e.g. running them in Airflow. This might be happening because of the pressure their business is getting inline with their recent investment rounds and valuation.

If anyone is interested in an alternative, I'd be happy to share what we are working on, the link is in my profile.
