Had an email from Google this morning saying:
'Starting June 1, 2021, all new photos and videos backed up in High quality will count toward the free 15 GB of storage that comes with your Google Account or any additional storage you may have purchased, the same way other Google services like Google Drive and Gmail already do.'
This is a bit of a bugger for me personally and a fairly significant change, designed I'm sure to move people towards paid storage as they fill up the 15GB with Gmail etc.
On the other hand, a 'free' backup service of this standard is fairly unusual I believe, so maybe it's just that we've been enjoying a service that we never should have expected for free.
