Disagree, GP's expectations are perfectly reasonable

Their pricing page starts out by saying "Transparent pricing you can understand"! I shouldn't have to read a several thousand word FAQ, and then still come away wondering if cached pages still count as rows read

Cached page reads are free on Aurora, this makes a huge difference in pricing if it isn't the case on planetscale

I agree with you that there are some simple questions left unanswered, but "is it row reads?" is not one of them.

The linked blog post literally just says "reads". The word "rows" does not appear in the blog post! You have to click through, yes it's clear once you do, but i'd say it's a valid complaint about the blog post

The comment by truetraveller is complaining about the pricing and docs, not the blog post:

> The pricing page/docs leaves so many questions unanswered:

The pricing page and docs make "rows" very clear. I was never referring to the blog post, nor was truetraveller.
