Tell HN: Fontawesome makes it impossible to downgrade to free plan

PSA: if you’re subscribed to fontawesome pro and plan to leave, don’t expect to be transferred to the free plan automatically. Instead, you will lose access to any kit created, even if it’s only a single one that should be covered by the free plan. Learned it the hard way, rendered my companies product useless for a couple of hours until I subscribed again for a full year so that I can migrate to a self hosted solution.

P.S.: customer support just confirmed that this happens on purpose. They obviously intend to harm people by suggesting a smooth transition to free via their pricing page. I’m probably not the only one who opted to renew for another period out of necessity.
