Creative Cloud standard for $30/month instructions
Woke up to an email saying Adobe was slamming me from my old $44/month plan onto their AI-slop powered $70/mo subscription. Seriously considered just dropping Adobe after being a paying customer since 1996. 😡
My process for unlocking $30/month for CC standard for 12 months was:
I downgraded from Creative Cloud Pro ($70) to Standard ($50)
Waited 15 minutes for the plan to set, then went back to plans to CANCEL this time. Clicked past first scare screen
This unlocked a "please don't go" offer offering CC standard free for 3 months, or CC standard for 12 months at $30 which was my sweet spot.
I thought I'd share this because what I suspect is that if you skip step 1, your loyalty offerings might be limited to persisting the Pro subscription at the higher price.
I hope this helps anyone else dealing with price shock as Adobe scrambles for profits while AI keeps drinking their milkshake.
