Firm agree. When they do stuff like this, they are estimating demand. Even big companies aren’t expecting even a quarter of their users to use the full extent of their plans. they are estimating that a user will overestimate how much they need and buy a larger plan than necessary that way they have wiggle room without needing to find alternatives later. This practice is also why many companies start mass spamming you when your allotment gets over 60% used, they are betting that you will buy a larger plan to futureproof yourself on the platform, which also allows them to generally allow for higher base plans than needed so its usually a win/win for the storage company.

But in cases like this where the market gets shot and they have a super high influx of people who actually want to use the full extent, they need to take measures like stated where they drop the free plans allotment in favor of hoping people get pushed to the larger plan.
