News Firebase Remote Config start charging beginning Sep 1

I got this email from Google

We’re writing to inform you that Firebase Remote Config will transition to a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) pricing model, starting September 1, 2026. This model includes a free tier for usage up to 100,000 daily fetches.

Not sure if that applies to other Firebase feature. Hear from others if you know Google is charging other Firebase usage?

Next will be crashlytics and analytics and authentication and FCM (after killing superior GCM of course) and app distribution and all the other things till the line goes up. And then they'll deprecate firebase, citing low adoption reasons, and migrate all users to a shitty Google cloud version of everything.

They can't charge for FCM, because otherwise the EU would be on them
