Yeah I concur.

As an early adopter I first got forced off my grandfather plan to the regular one(at least I got a T-shirt). Now I have a limited number of searches that I have to keep track of and this has made me only use Kagi if necessary. This has dropped my number of searches significantly but at the end of the year I’m still being charged for renewing my plan even though I haven’t used a quarter of my allotted searches.

I don’t care about LLMs so this brings nothing of value to me. Give me an email account or some backup storage and open source office suite and I would be willing to pay and pay more.

I’m seriously considering not re-newing my subscription for the first time in ages.

The $10 plan has unlimited searches again.
And this isn't anything that has changed recently. It's been unlimited since 2023.
Then don't renew. Nobody is forcing you to pay for the service, and from what you wrote, it sounds like the service is not what you need/want (anymore).
How do you use kagi and not know the basic plan has unlimited searches and has had it for ages?
It doesn’t, I use the starter plan, that’s the lowest paid tie.
The basic plan has 300 searches.
