It cannot possibly be that "decision is driven by increasing infrastructure costs that have created an unsustainable pattern for our business"

How much resources can something like IFTTT actually be using? It accepts requests and does a very small amount of processing on them and then sends them out.

I assume the resource cost increase is AI?

I don't have any knowledge of IFTTT's budget, but the truth value depends on the exact framing of cost.

Your framing is "the marginal cost of any given request rounds to zero" which is probably true.

Another likely true framing is "there are substantial numbers of users on legacy plans who in aggregate cost more to serve than they pay".
