Guidance on when to downgrade to a lower site plan to save money
With the updates to pricing and the improved overages policy, I've seen chatter in community channels about when and how to downgrade to a less expensive plan:
- https://community.pantheon.io/forum/t/cost-analysis-for-march-2024-site-plans-and-overage-protection-changes/172
- https://websites.umich.edu/~markmont/public/pantheon-cost-analysis/
I don't want to overload the already in-progress https://github.com/pantheon-systems/documentation/pull/8886 but maybe we should add a page walking through evaluating whether a downgrade makes sense and how to do it.
An updated version of the spreadsheet is now available (version 1.1) at
https://websites.umich.edu/~markmont/public/pantheon-cost-analysis/
If you have version 1.01 or 1.0., please go to the URL above and make a new copy since version 1.1 corrects an error with Basic plan pricing and it should now find the lowest cost plan in all circumstances.
overages are suspended currently. I'm going to close this one
