That really sucks, I like Slack but for what you get isn't necessarily worth kicking up a fuss if they're going to increase the costs.
I'm curious what they were actually getting for even the $5000/month and how many users there are? Going off the prices on Slack's homepage, for regular users to pay $200,000/year would mean they're working with ~900 users in a work group. I'm wondering if perhaps there's some automation that is kicking in when it shouldn't be?
We have 100,000 members, but only a fraction of that regularly active. As Hack is in our name, we have dozens of bots, workflows, and last I checked over 6000 channels administered by hundreds of users. Slack stats show almost 11 million messages in the past year.
