Did you read the Github issue? These guys are paying customers.

If so that is indeed shitty. I thought they were crippling the free tier.

I was wrong. They were only nerfing the free self-hosted tier. I misread a few comments there.

Where are you seeing that? From what I can tell, the 10k message limit applies to "Mattermost Entry":

What the fuck is this lmao? "a free self-hosted Intelligent Mission Environment to get started on improving their mission-critical secure collaborative workflows".

Sounds like some kind of parody of enterprise software.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s a free tier.

They are not paying customers. From the announcement [1]:

> What This Means for Existing Deployments

> Paid Customers: No action required—your deployments are unaffected.

Can't edit anymore - I was wrong here.

I saw "we're happy to pay for it" and thought they were paying for it. They're not, yet.

Yea, here “we’re happy to pay for it” really means “we’re not happy to pay the price you’re charging, but maybe we’d pay if you fundamentally changed your prices or pricing model.”
