"Plan prices aren’t changing.”
Isn't this like saying "The Porsche you rented at $200/mo is now a Honda. But the price hasn't changed!"

This may be a more accurate analogy... "The Porsche you rented at $200/mo now only allows you a maximum of 100km of travel. You will be automatically charged extra when you go over that."
A whopping 100km per month for the low price of $199.99!*
* with a quota of 138 meters per hour, overage charges may apply
more like 100m
Having rented cars a lot, this is actually quite common.
What country, I haven't seen anything but unlimited miles for over a decade.
On top of being worth less, the subscriber discounts are gone.
The old plans were $0.033/request for Pro, $0.026/request for Pro+ and $0.04/request for pay-as-you-go. That discount is now gone. They even still advertise "5x the number of requests" for Pro+ over Pro.
Yeah, if I go to a petrol station with 50€, but only get a tenth of the amount of petrol I got last week, I may think that the price has in fact changed.
"Your monthly fee isn't changing but it now only covers about 3 days of driving."
More like, The Porsche you had for a month you'll now have for 5 min only.
More like, the rising gas prices aren’t a problem, I only ever fill up for $40
It's more like saying, "and you may now only use the Porsche for 5 minutes out of every day."
Full brake on the autobahn if you hit your 5min limit
It’s technically true that the plan prices haven’t changed, it’s just the value you get from those plans has plummeted. It’s classic deceptive sales language.
They are now charging per gallon instead of a flat rate per trip
