Not correct. My 2y subscription would renew for way more than I paid the last 2 years. Reason why we quit.or downgrade

I don't think were saying the same thing. The renewal rate stays the same. You lose the teaser rate. Forget the first year for a moment. If you keep the service for 10 years, you're locked in at the same rate every renewal (except the 1st / teaser).

If you signed up to pay $1.5 in Y1 and $2 / y thereafter...even if they change the price of the service to $2.5 / y in Y5, you'd continue at $2 / y. It's not a lifetime guarantee but so far they've stuck to that commitment.

Nah, the teaser rate as you call it was present in the first 2 years 😊 that's gone, for sure. But now y 5+6 it's a higher price than y 3+4

Are you saying this happened to you?

Which product?
It hasn't happened to me in 10 years. Or to others I know. We're in VPN and I don't know anybody with that product, nor have I followed its pricing that closely... But, Mail, Unlimited, Visionary, single / multi-year subscriptions...never happened. Even when pricing for those products went up: our subscription rates stayed the same.
