I think the change makes sense, even though I have workloads running on the regions that got the steepest price changes. I'd rather have more granular pricing than a blanket increase. The why now also makes sense - there was a technical limitation that doesn't exist anymore.

I was expecting a larger grace period from announcement to price change though. You got it right when you started charging for stopped volumes - you overcommunicated and gave users estimates for a few months before you started charging. Smoothing the increase over the next 4 months was nice.

A couple of nits as well: - AFAIK prices increased in all but two regions. The announcement could be clearer or more direct regarding this. - The pricing page could have a clearer from/to. I have to click on the example toggle to know how much machines cost before the change.
