Curious: have they ever increased prices of existing Google Cloud services?

As far as I know, AWS only ever decreases prices on services for example

"Coders howl over Google's App Engine price hike (natch)" https://www.theregister.com/2011/09/02/google_app_engine_use...

I don't know if Google App Engine falls under Google Cloud services, but either way that's just a technicality; the sentiment remains the same.

TWELVE YEARS AGO! find a new complaint.

In my world, most production services need to last longer than twelve years, so need relative pricing stability and no complete pricing restructures over a longer period. Perhaps your world is different.

I sort of agree, and I also posted other aspects, but please note this:

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-public-ipv4-address...

We are introducing a new charge for public IPv4 addresses. Effective February 1, 2024 there will be a charge of $0.005 per IP per hour for all public IPv4 addresses, whether attached to a service or not

GCP has seen price increases:

BigQuery had a 25% price increase in July/23: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/data-analytics/introd...

yes, massively over the last ~12 months. https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing-announce

AWS has increased prices, most recently when they started charging for static IPs (even ones attached to a running instance).

That one caused a week of work for me... (redesigning something slated to go live in a few months)
