I just received this from Pandora
Dear listener,
Please be advised that due to the increased cost of providing on-demand audio services, Pandora will increase the price from $7.99 to the new price of $8.99 for the Premium Monthly Military Direct Plan, effective May 24, 2024.
For instructions on how to change or cancel your subscription, see the information below.
Thanks for listening!

@oofernandez8, I moved your post over to this existing thread: Direct-billed: Pandora Premium Price Increase
We were fortunate to have been able to keep the price of our subscriptions consistent, despite the steady increase in music licensing costs. The increase in our fees reflects the fact that music licensing is one of the most expensive components of providing the service.
We are constantly striving to manage these expenses without compromising the quality of the listening experience.
Thanks for listening!
I love Pandora, I’m not happy to leave but the subscription price increased too much, been a many listener, but way too expensive now, sorry to leave…
