Datastream Limit on Plus plans

Hi guys,

since you announced your new pricing model I find conflicting information about datastream limits per template.
On your pricing site https://blynk.io/pricing, there’s a limit of 20 streams in Plus plans where’s here https://docs.blynk.io/en/blynk.console/limits it says 80 streams.

Could you clarify? 20 datastreams would be insufficient for most of my projects.

Thank you!

The website shows the limits that will apply to any subscription that is taken-out on or after 16th October.
The documentation shows the current limits, for subscriptions takes-out before 16th October.

Man, they are really ruining it for the advanced private user :frowning:

With the new pricing plan, Blynk reduces the number of data streams for the plus plan from 80 to 20 for the same price as the old price. This is an incomprehensible and huge step backwards. My second home is going to be sold and I want to transfer the system and the account to the new owner. This does not appear to be possible because the e-mail address cannot be changed in the plus plan account. If I create a new account for the new owner and create a new authenfication key for each device and therefore also have to recreate the app templates, because copying is not possible and so with the new pricing plan I get completely stuck due to the reduction of the number of data streams and widget restrictions. As a private user of Blynk, I find myself in an impossible situation to still be able to use the system. Switching to a business plan is impossible due to the huge price difference. For hobbyists and private users it is made almost impossible to use Blynk anymore. The plus plan is significantly reduced and the switch to a business plan is far too big.
Please Blynk make it possible to change the E-mail address and give the possibility to purchase more datastreams as a possible solution.

I have a Plus-plan since 2022. Do I understand well that I’ll keep the 80 datastreams per template and that the reduction to 20 datastreams per template is for new users only?

Hi @Carlimero ,

Yes, you will have the old limits if you do not change your plan to another.

Hi @DimitryPB

I’ve been a Blynk Maker plan subscriber since 2022, with my plan renewing on September 9th. My question is:

I need to clarify this. Will my datastream limit be reduced to 20 after the renewal, or will I continue to have access to 80 datastreams as I have had previously?

Your question has already been answered by previous posts in this topic.

If you allow your payments to lapse, or you change your plan by up/downgrading it then you’ll go to the datastream/template/device/user limits that are in place at that time.
Otherwise nothing will change.

same position, looking to move from the original plus plan across to maker 20 for more devices.

Possible suggestion for fairness, spread datastreams across all devices. 20 devices with 20 datastreams each you are offering 400 for the package. Allow us to put the datastreams where we want them with the original 80 limit per device still. I have some very simple projects and others involving 30-40+ datastreams that im going to only have to spread across 2 arduinos and talk to each other via serial to get the datastream info.

Datastreams are linked to templates, not devices.

Pete.

Good point, so 20 devices and only 10 templates isnt much use for 20 unique projects.

No.

Pete.
