I have experience with this, gotta say: announcing price increase depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.

Technically: there are two main factors in deciding on announcing price increase. Cost-benefit and risk management. Decide based on data.

Another perspective: maybe the core issue with announcing price increase is something else. Think about it like this...

Let me clarify the technical side. Don't enter any agreement without an exit plan.

This approach has a cost, which isn't discussed. Calculate how many months you can survive without revenue, then halve that number.
When making a decision, first look at what data you have on hand. Proven by experience.

Let me summarize the topic, since several different answers were given. Don't enter any agreement without an exit plan.
If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.
I think differently. When making a decision, first look at what data you have on hand.
Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.

The most overlooked point about announcing price increase is this: When making decisions, write down the worst-case scenario too not just the best.
Hope this helps.
There are three things to check when doing this. People defend habits, not processes. Resistance comes from there.
it's rare to find an explanation this clear. when we decide without measuring, we always end up in the same place.
mistakes made on the announcing price inncrease side are usually reversible but expensive. of course it varies if your situation is different.
Generally correct, but one part is missing. If you get three different answers on a topic, the question was asked wrong.

I've been down this road, let me tell you. Measure first then divide. When the order is right, the debate ends.
Splitting your budget without knowing where you're losing users is just throwing money in the dark. Of course it varies if your situation is different.
let me share what happened to me; it might be useful but anyway calculate this based on total annual cost, not the monthly bill.
just leaving this note it might be useful.
