Pro tip, if you go to cancel your BrowserStack subscription they (at least used to) offer you 50% off your plan, indefinitely.
I’ve been paying 50% for 3+ years now. $40/mo was absurd for my usage but I can stomach $20.
That said I need to reevaluate the space. I’d much rather pay for non-expiring minutes. I just need mobile and desktop manual browser testing with the ability to install apps on the mobile devices and proxy to my local computer. My usage is tiny (0 on average, randomly 60-120min 2-3 months at max).
This comment amuses me as my company is a browserstack competitor and thus my company and our clients have large numbers of devices. When you are the cloud host, you have to worry about this and monitor devices for battery damage / swelling.
In our case though the battery temperature can be monitored and this partly lets you know when the battery is going bad before it actually gets to that point and risks catastrophic failure.
