Well, fuck Microsoft for pushing out a 41.67% increase in my M365 plan subscription charges, *in secret*.

£59.99 -> £84.99 per annum. No notification, either by email, in the software, or even on their portal.

I've managed to "revert" my plan back to the newly-renamed ' M365 Personal Classic' plan. If you haven't already done so, get your skates on, as the somewhat hidden means to do so will disappear, probably soon. Note that this applies to non-Personal plans too.
