Appwrite for Education

I am writing to report an issue with my account limits. I currently have the GitHub Student Developer Pack active, which should include 10 Appwrite Pro projects. However, I have only created 2 projects so far, and the platform is stating that I have reached my limit and must upgrade to Pro to create more.

I have attached screenshots of my current project dashboard and my GitHub Student Pack status for your reference. Could you please help resolve this so I can access the remaining projects included in my pack?

@Aditya Oberai Have the student limits changed?

When we shifted the Appwrite Pro plan from per-member to per-project pricing, each project essentially got the same usage limits that an org used to.

Because it wouldn't make any sense to have 1 Education project, we changed the Education plan to support 10 projects

This was shared in our pricing update back then: https://appwrite.io/blog/post/appwrite-pricing-update#how-will-the-per-project-pricing-affect-the-education-github-student-plan

@dlohani can we verify the issue here? A 2 project limit definitely is a problem for an Education plan user

Same issue here

I just had an internal discussion with our team and unfortunately the 2 project limit is intentional as a consequence of increased abuse in the Education plan lately.

We are in communication with GitHub so that this change is reflected in the Student Developer Pack and we will be updating the Appwrite website today on the same.

The free plan also have 2 projects limit and student plan also 2 project limit is not justifiable. Atleast 5 project limit for student plan would be helpful.

When I shared my message earlier yesterday, I was not aware of this change.

I apologise for the same

There is substantial difference in the resource limits of a free plan project and an education plan project

But still 2 project limit is too restrictive isn't it.

With 2 Edu projects, you get resource limits equivalent to 2 Pro projects which are worth $40 per month. (I'm preparing a changelog to share more on this and will post on #channel once it is ready)

Considering that this decision has been made due to an increase in malicious activity, the alternative option we have explored is to entirely do away with the plan.

I understand that this decision is not ideal, but it is better than nothing. Resources of this sort are a gift and we will still try to find other ways to keep creating value for Education plan members, through better learning content and more.

@Aditya Oberai I already told the samething to you in the quality issue too

Kindly move the limit to the 6-7 pls

@Arhan Ansari I already shared an explanation with you there. This is the decision we're going to stick to. If things change in the future, we will let everyone in the community know

ok as u wish...
