Update PAYG documentation to the flat $0.525/M CU rate and remove the 300M-CU volume price break. Rewrites the pricing-plans feature-comparison row and the pay-as-you-go pricing FAQ (rate description, launch sentence, billing examples, and closing marketing line). Legacy customer-transition documentation is untouched. Refs DOCS-223 Requested-by: @maxchemist-lfg

For customers whose PAYG subscriptions predate this pricing rollout, this statement incorrectly says that all usage is billed at $0.525/M CU. The change description explicitly limits the new rate to new PAYG subscriptions, while the edited FAQ and pricing table omit that qualification; add the applicable subscription cohort or effective date so existing customers are not given an inaccurate higher billing rate.

accurate, but for simplicity I think we say this, given the plan is to roll out these changes to all users in the coming weeks

Summary
Update Pay As You Go pricing documentation to reflect the new flat rate of $0.525 per 1M Compute Units across all usage. Removes the previous volume price break (previously $0.45/M CU up to 300M CU, then $0.40/M CU above). Rewrites the closing marketing line, the launch sentence, and the two billing examples.
Applies to new PAYG subscriptions. Legacy customer-transition documentation (
content/tutorials/learn-about-alchemy/pricing-transition-plan-faq/pricing-transition-plan-faq.mdx) is intentionally left unchanged since its $0.40 references concern existing legacy customers.Changes
content/api-reference/pricing-resources/pricing/pricing-plans.mdxReplaced the two rows for "Up to 300M CU rate" and "300M+ CU rate" with a single row:
