Hetzner increased dedicated server prices 3-4x

Hetzner has increased dedicated server prices by 3-4x, citing higher demand as competitors become more expensive. The price hike has disappointed customers planning to migrate workloads, who are now seeking alternative competitive pricing for batch jobs.

True but this is probably because now they have much more demand as other competitors got to expensive and now people are going for the smaller ones even with low service levels

This is such disappointing news. I was planning on migrating some of our workloads to hetzner specifically to take advantage of the AX162 pricing which was incredibly competitive.

Does anyone else have any suggestions for competitive pricing for this kind of thing (e.g. batch jobs)? Was this applied retrospectively to existing customers?

Correct me if I am wrong, but AI made software development and operations more expensive than before. Yes, it is faster too, but the question: is it worth the price? Can the users consume new features in that pace?
