Would be great if you could hold your horses the next time and wait, before breaking apps for introducing subscription mode with 1-day notice for 4 days before turning it back to free again. 😉

With all due respect, the unfunding and switch back to subscription model all happened before @arcange even knew it had happened (apparently due to auto-switching in the code).
I had conversed with arcange about getting set up on HiveSQL and received his instructions.
When I followed his instructions, though, the auto-response said HiveSQL had received a donation, instead of sending me my login credentials.
Within the two minutes it took me to craft a response to arcange explaining the problem I was encountering, he had already noticed it, sent me an initial response, then a few minutes later sent me the detailed explanation of what went wrong.
So, in short, it caught him completely off guard and he was responding to the fact that the system was ignoring my onboarding request.
From my perspective, his quick response to identify a problem (before I had even relayed to him the fact that there was a problem) was the quickest and best 'customer service' I've received in a long time.
The first time it went back to subscription mode, it was by code. Happens. However, 4 days ago, he published this post: https://peakd.com/hive-139531/@arcange/about-hbd-price-and-proposals-funding
In it he wrote:
The post was done on the 11th April 2021, meaning there was only 1 day "notice".
Regardless of the notice, he should have known that it was only a matter of days or maybe weeks until his proposal would be funded again. Considering he gets 3000 USD per month from the proposal alone and the proposal was funded for 5 months straight, I doubt his pockets were empty. Frankly speaking, it was an egoistic & silly move from his side to force subscription and break apps because of a few days/weeks "without funding".
Also in regards to costs. Let's say base-costs are 1900$ (I doubt they are really that high, but hey), he could easily cover 8 months with that. Meaning, proposals code have been paused for at least 2 months and he'd be fine.
Those are my 2cents.
Okay, I see your perspective on that.
I very much agree with this statement of having a warning before switching to subscription.
Thank you for sharing with us your joy in being able to use HiveSQL again for free.
This made me won a bet I made. !BEER
I simply wonder why you edited your comment to add then remove this sentence:
I'm curious what was your intention with this one?
I deleted it because I thought it was obvious to refund those who paid for a month, and only got 3 days before it went free again.

My question was not on why you deleted it, but more on why you wrote it...
Let's try again: !BEER
