Price-increase message with a fairness rationale

I get a price-increase message that carries a genuine rationale, fair notice, and a disclosed magnitude, so customers read it as fair rather than opportunistic.

You receive: A JSON object { rationale, increasePercent, advanceNoticeDays, effectiveDate, grandfathering: { offered, terms }, contactPath } for the increase communication.

Rationale

STUD's plays now run on stronger models than the ones this play's credit weight was set against, and inference cost per accepted deliverable has risen with them. This change raises the play's weight from 500 to 550 credits ($20 to $22) and funds the model tier the play now requires, rather than trimming what a credit buys: 1 credit stays 4 cents, pack prices on the credits page do not move, and purchased credits never expire. It is the first weight change since launch, and the new weight is published on the play's page in full, 45 days ahead, as STUD's pricing rule requires. (Illustrative scenario: STUD's live catalog weights are unchanged.)

Grandfathering

Terms
Any run of this play commissioned before 2026-11-26 settles at the current 500-credit weight, since a weight change never applies to a run whose credits are already held. Buyers who have run this play before 2026-11-26 keep the 500-credit weight on it for 12 months from the effective date. No action needed: the hold applies automatically and appears as a line on the run receipt.
