Another post about the WP changes to keep you updated. Thanks to pensitivity101
Hurrah!
This has just come into my email and whilst the name is a little suspect, I am relieved.

Hi @pensitivity101 happy to clarify that existing free sites created before March 31 2022 are unchanged.
I see your site is about 9 years old (which is awesome!) and can confirm that it still retains the 3GB limit on media storage, and no limits on traffic.
To further clarify, the new limits would apply if you created a new (second) site under your account. The new limits would also apply if you upgrade your existing site, but as long as you keep https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/ a free site there is no change whatsoever, as mentioned above.
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
Hope this is of help to bloggers in a similar position to myself.

I still maintain free sites for my other three blogs. Although I can open my latest one, I could not access my password, it often rejects it when I sign in.

I helped feed a pair of five-day-old kittens yesterday that had been found entangled in their umbilical cords beneath a neighbor’s car. The mother had abandoned the litter. Most of the kittens had died. To my mind, helping feed these tiny kittens, whose eyes are still closed, is of far more importance than anything WordPress is doing.

I completely agree, David. Kittens have to come first.

Okay, I’m happy that those on the previously existing free plans won’t be driven away! Wouldn’t it have been nice if they’d communicated clearly from the start, with all their existing customers, both paid and free?? I think perhaps their policy on this has been evolving based on the brouhaha that occurred!
