Aside from financial greediness, what justification does MicroSoft have for raising my [Home] M365 annual subscription fee by 30% in 2025? I can stomach a 10% increase but 30% is uncalled for. Are you punishing your recurring subscribers in order to line your pockets even more?

    My increase is a whopping 45%, from a yearly 79 CAD to 115$, and since it's a by-default increase it will catch millions of users unawares, maybe for years to come. MS should renew at the same price and announce new offerings with staggered price increases, not the other way around, where you have to explicitly change your subscription. It's bad client relations, and I think I will switch to Google.

    Microsoft should make clear how to subscribe without AI and the price for that option.

    Unfortunately they like to keep you in the dark.

    I’ve come to understand you can choose the subscription without AI. They don’t tell you that either. It also requires a phone call to them. Not sure there is a choice to eliminate AI except with a call.

    Isn’t that the ultimate insult? The only way to stop them charging you for their advanced form of artificial intelligence with unbelievable potential….is to make you phone them and sit in a queue and process it on the call ffs 🤦‍♂️

    Exactly. I certainly have better things to do and I’m sure most feel the same. Just the thought of sitting in a queue makes me nauseous
