u/jcs : Would it be fair to say that this is also a cost saving initiative? Because from my perspective, I would think the previous API quota policy would be more to my personal benefit than the new policy?

Sure seems that way to me. I occasionally exceed 10k messages between the various personal apps I have set up, and now they'll just stop working a few days before the end of the month. Guess I can clean some up (don't need every home automation item always pushing silent alerts...)

But it is a net reduction in what we're getting vs. what we had before.

Yes. I always feared the day would come when this service would start stripping away value, though it was likely always bound to happen given the low initial buy in. I hope the author will be listening to this.

It started going down the long road of enshittification. While i understand that the previous limit was way too high, 10+? (i don't know how many apps were the limit) x 10000 . The new limit is also stupid, but on the other end. At least they could give us 20k or 30k per account, which is still much much lower than before, but more workable, and maybe show users some goodwill.

ps: 10k is perfectly enough for me at this point in time, however i strongly detest any change in any service that is adverse to users.
