Any recent sources on it?

Rather than being smug, pompous, and having nothing useful to say, you could provide a recent source.

What I did find on Google is several years old, and I can't replicate the pricing changes even with a VPN, different OS, different hardware, and different account. Even asked friends and family to tell me what prices they see.
