Grafana Assistant Free/Pro usage quota switched from messages (5/2,000 per mo) to tokens (40M/user/mo + 25M/mo service-account allowance), plus new $2/1M token overage rate. In detail: New 'Database Observability' product added to the pricing page, with its own Free (2,232 host hours), Pro ($0.07/host hour, ~$51/host), and Enterprise ($25,000/yr min commit) tiers; Grafana Assistant's Free and Pro tier usage allowance changed from a message-based quota to a token-based quota: Free tier 5 msgs/user/mo -> 40M tokens/user/mo, Pro tier 2,000 msgs/user/mo -> 40M tokens/user/mo, plus a new 25M tokens/month service-account allowance.
