| Default Renewal Uplift | +10% / yr | +10% / yr |
| Hidden Overage Trap | Marketplace third-party plugins (ScriptRunner, Tempo, Xray) automatically inherit the total parent user tier count even if only 10% of users touch the plugin. | Unthrottled 60-second minimum warehouse resume billing + Snowpipe serverless compute + default Time Travel storage retention on staging tables. |
| Primary Negotiation Lever | Audit inactive accounts 45 days pre-renewal, downgrade read-only stakeholders to free Confluence Guest / Jira Viewer roles, and negotiate multi-year Partner discounts. | Demand credit rollover protection on multi-year capacity commits, negotiate Enterprise tier down to $2.35–$2.85/credit at $50k+ ACV, and enforce SQL Resource Monitors. |
