In detail: API call allowances cut on the top pricing cards: Pro plan reduced from 50K to 20K API calls/month and Team plan reduced from 500K to 200K API calls/month. Business (5M) and comparison-table figures unchanged. Pulse files it as a packaging change (limit decrease) with a downward direction.
