Hey there! Nice to meet you!

To answer your inquiries, according to Microsoft Agent | Moderator Thomas.C - MSFT: https://learn.microsoft.com/answers/questions/5410932/why-is-my-annual-price-increasing-by-30?forum=msoffice-all&referrer=answers

"The reason for the subscription price increase is that the product team has added Copilot to all Office applications starting from January 16, 2025. As a cost for unlimited use of AI, Microsoft has raised the subscription price."

As for the additional $1.99 charge, according to this article: https://www.partnerhelper.com/post/microsoft-365-pricing-update-what-you-need-to-know-for-2025#:~:text=Microsoft%20has%20announced%20a%205%25%20price%20increase%20for,subscriptions%2C%20ensuring%20pricing%20consistency%20across%20all%20purchasing%20platforms.
