In what way have they back-pedalled? I'm affected by this and hadn't heard anything.

They delayed the cutover multiple times. They gave people 3 months free. They gave people a year at 1/2 off. And finally they gave anyone who declared themselves as personal/family use only back the free option, even after having migrated to a billed option.

(And, if you’re affected by Ukraine vs. Russia, deferred indefinitely.)

I didn't know about the last option! They didn't exactly notify us about the option...

I have now selected it, thanks!

Yeah they were very good about announcing the paid version. The backpedal was quiet.

For those watching at home, if you signed up to pay you may still be able to switch back.
