Same. Mine's less important than email, more for personal projects with a nice URL, but I still feel the pain of switching.

You can already do this today with your .io and pay ~$52 instead of ~$76. It's what I did a few days ago when I saw the crazy renewal price.
It was way easier to transfer the domain than I expected. And if you host DNS somewhere else, without downtime.

$50 on Cloudflare where I have mine, so only halfway to $100, but still pretty expensive.
