The verdict
Midjourney is the panel's clearest static case: a GPU-time meter adopted when it went subscription-only in 2023, materially unchanged since. The plans page today matches a February-2025 snapshot — four tiers ($10/$30/$60/$120), Fast-GPU-hour allotments, unlimited Relax on Standard and above, extra Fast time bought manually at $4/hr, a 20% annual discount. Fast time is a real ceiling and top-ups are user-initiated packs with no auto-billed overage, which keeps it a hard allotment. Successive model releases (V7, the video model, the V8 alpha) all shipped inside the existing meter without repricing it.
