Have you had that "Upcoming price change for your Microsoft 365 subscription" email yet? They want to charge you an extra 50%ish for AI features, and they do *not* make it easy to find the way to turn it off. It took me minutes of searching - this is a particularly evil dark pattern.
"Switch plan" just lets you pick between annual and monthly billing. You want "Turn off recurring billing" and then "Current subscription without AI".
You're welcome. Please boost for others.

I actually wouldn't be terribly surprised if there was some legal noise about this down the line - the more I think about this, the more this feels like it should be illegal in some way - but that's not my domain. Just help me help others figure this shit out before it costs them unnecessary money.

@timixretroplays it's just a very restricted access to their gpt, like 60 uses per month, not usable the next month if unused. Copilot pro is much more expensive. So this price increase is just an improvement to their financial margins.

@timixretroplays the 'cancel sub' button also takes you to the same screen

@pimento does it? That makes me even more pissed off. How disingenuous can you get?

@timixretroplays @stucchimax that reminds me that I have to cancel my subscription this year. It is getting crappier and creeper as time goes by.
