It went from 100k/month to 50k/month without any notification to users. This is an extremely shady business strategy as I was promised 100k/month when signed up.

Hi Guys.

We have changed the plans little bit. Some of them had their limits increased and some of them decreased. The idea is having straightforward plans to fit all phases of the app, from development stage to high demand usage.

In the case of free plan, we decreased total api calls, but increased storage (now you have additional 5GB for flies). We also created a very affordable plan ($ 4.99) to the apps that reach this limit. 

You can also make your API public and use it for FREE or invite friends to back4app in gain up to 12 months of the Standard Plan for FREE. There are still many options to keep using back4app for free and high limits.

We are still testing new plans mechanism and that's why users were not notified yet. All old apps will be kept with same old limits.

@1234 I've just fixed your limits.
@quynhnguyen003 can you send me your app id? I can't see any app associated to your email.

Best!

I'm one of the early supporters of Back4app. 
Why are my app limits changed to 50k/mth from 100kmth?

Hi @thwl I know you are one of our first users, but some of your apps were created in the last few days. That's why they started with the 50 K limit in the free plan. Anyway, thanking you for had been one of our first adopters, I've just increased all your existing apps limits. Best!
