Perplexity Pro Removed Features Without Telling You (and Lied to You)

Perplexity removed image generation from its Pro plan without prior notice, hiding it behind a fake “geographic restriction” error. Thousands of subscribers paying €17/month discovered that to get the feature back, they had to upgrade to the MAX plan: €170/month. Is this a scam?

We analyze exactly what happened, how the Reddit community reacted, what the European AI Act says about this kind of opacity, and what rights you have as a consumer if an AI tool silently changes its terms. This case reflects a worrying trend across the industry: AI companies promise features to attract subscribers, then remove them without explanation when the numbers no longer work for them.
