Anyone else think 30 days is just not enough notice before shutting off access for a paid app?

I totally understand free users getting a shorter notice period, but there's almost no instance where a paid user should get <60 days notice before being forced to migrate off a product they're using.

This sort of thing leads to a lot of mistrust in trying / using a startup for anything remotely important.

It's on the short side, but this isn't a cloud database or whatever. Nobody is using it in production because it doesn't plug into your apps. There are any number of alternatives you can switch to and there's little productivity lost. https://tuple.app/ is the most direct alternative (and excellent) but in the short term there's also VS Code live share, or screen sharing in whatever your main video chat app is.
