Why is there a price increase in Office 365 annual subscription? Am I getting some new stuff? I'm in Malaysia.

I was sure this was spam, like 50% increase in one go with no explanation, seriously???

yea the hike is ridiculous and i dont care for their AI.

mine will be canceled and not renewed come the end date ( 2months to go)

Late to this conversation, but I found this: https://www.consumer.org.nz/articles/you-don-t-have-to-pay-the-microsoft-365-price-increase leaving it here for others like me who juts recieved the notification that the price was rising by 50%, and who also don't want to support AI

Great find, I just did this and it's dead simple to do, I would encourage everyone to do it as it may just send a message to Microsoft. Thr price increase alone was bad enough but the fact the supposed AI inclusion is limited is just dirty tactics.

By not offering the 'classic' version up front they are really sending a massive F U to their customers and I sincerely hope they cop a massive fine for misleading/deceptive behaviour. F U Microsoft!

I had built an infrastructure around the use of MS products and when this price increase cane about, I was in shock. MS is being a bully on this matter and they must be stopped.

I did eventually get the subscription by buying from an MS reseller at a much lower price, even lower than the MS direct price. Ask your MS reseller for the deal.

50% price increase in Australia

This is a RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like I have no other options but to terminate my Microsoft 365 subscription. The arbitrary price increase is simply not acceptable. Who knows there will be another round of price increase again next year?
