Only because Flash was mispriced to start with. It was set too cheap compared with its capabilities. They didn't raise the price of Pro.

What price increases?

I guess the Gemini price increase

Ah, 2.5 flash non-thinking price was increased to match the price of 2.5 flash thinking.

No, 2.5 flash non-thinking was replaced with 2.5 flash lite, and 2.5 flash thinking had it's cost rebalanced (input price increased/output price decreased)

2.5 flash non-thinking doesn't exist anymore. People call it a price increase but it's just confusion about what Google did.

They try to frame it as such but 2.5 Flash Lite is not the same as 2.5 Flash without thinking. It's worse.
