Had a bad experience of this with a tool where I had subscribed a full year at the old price.

They raised prices while I was on a vacation, and the first time I logged back in, I was charged the difference.

No prompt to agree or disagree, and the charge assumed a full year of usage on the new price rather than being pro-rated.

They refunded it shortly after on their own, and then someone from their team emailed asking what I'd done on login, as if they didn't already know. Possibly a billing system glitch on their end, but the lack of any consent prompt is the part that bothered me.

Didn't renew, though I'll admit their product is solid.
