It would be great if there was an option between $0 and $25 for hobbyists that is effetely the Free plan but without the database pausing. I dont need a lot of data, or a lot of access for my project, but I do need a cloud DB option that doesn't pause if there is no access for a week or two. I'd happily pay for this, but $25/months is overkill and hard to justify when Free has everything I need except this one feature. $5/mo, or similar, would be a nice price point that is easy to justify for the hobby tier. (I know its not a big focus for the business, but it would sure be neat.)
The user suggests introducing a $5/month plan for hobbyists that includes a cloud database without pausing, as a middle ground between the Free and $25 plans. They find the $25 plan excessive for their needs and would prefer a more affordable option that maintains continuous database availability.
