I think the author meant the 3.5% was flat in the sense that it hadn’t increased in thirteen years.

It’s not very clear English either way.

Usually if you say you're raising prices because they've been flat for years the implied justification is that it's to match inflation. But that doesn't apply to a percentage fee.
