Forced migration to credit-based plans causing site downtime
Users are being forced from legacy free plans into a new credit-based system, often accidentally while exploring AI features. This transition leads to sites being taken offline abruptly when credits are exhausted, driving long-term customers to migrate to competitors like Cloudflare Pages.

I saw that I cannot reverse back my plan to original 300 free build minutes plan. And one fine morning I saw all of the 30 sites actually 34 sites (4 static sites from local host ) go OFFLINE
when I tried to use it, my plan switched from 'legacy free' to some sort of new credits based plan. It's awful. 15 credits per deploy?? Only 300 credits a month??
upgraded to 9$ a month before having to upgrade AGAIN to $30 a month just to keep my sites online. And even after upgrading to $30 a month my sites were taken offline AGAIN
