@loopspack @ghostintheplay @suno @sunomusic get a premier subscription then push your music through suno studio to by-pass the monthly download limits - its unlimited there. Its a pain and slows down content creators by a lot but it is unlimited downloads.

[laughduck @laughduck]

@suno Suno business model. Pay to create music, then pay more than the cost of buying music from stores to download it outside of your limits. Jokers. Your download pricing is massive slap in the face.

#suno download pricing is live. 1 download 2.99, 10 for 29.90. Thats the end of my subscription. Ridiculous. @suno.

[laughduck @laughduck]

@suno How about being transparent and telling us how much you are going to charge for downloads above the limitations you are placing instead.

[laughduck @laughduck]

@suno Please post the cost of downloading over the monthly use limits... the lack of transparency for genuine creators with workflows to manage is not good.

[laughduck @laughduck]

@suno "We also believe innovation and responsibility need to go hand in hand" at the same time stopping genuine content creators from downloading the content they need for their workflows with no transparency to the extra cost they will be made to pay.

[laughduck @laughduck]

@Suno Rather than stopping genuine content creators who need much higher downloads, why not just introduce stringent checks on their content and ID? Surely a good compromise can be found over blanket banning genuine high content users...and not alienating your fans and creators.

@suno Suno, please reconsider the new download limits before September 3.

I am saying this as a paying customer who genuinely uses Suno as a music creation platform, not as someone who is simply experimenting with AI for a few minutes a day.

I completely understand the problem you are trying to solve. You want to prevent bad actors from mass-generating enormous quantities of AI music and exporting everything to streaming platforms. I understand the concern about spam, fraudulent distribution, manipulation of streaming platforms, and low-effort mass production.

But I strongly believe that limiting downloads for legitimate paying customers is the wrong solution to that problem.

I am not paying for Suno simply to listen to my own creations inside the Suno app.

I am not generating music just to share a link on Suno.

I am not buying thousands of credits because I want to build an enormous private playlist that can only exist inside your platform.

I use Suno to CREATE music.

And when I create a song, I need to be able to take that song out of Suno and use it in the real world: in videos, on YouTube, on websites, in projects, in productions, in archives, and in other legitimate creative work.

That is the entire point of a music creation platform.

You are telling paying users that the music they generate on a paid plan remains theirs to use commercially or personally, but at the same time you are introducing a restriction on how many of those creations we are allowed to actually download each month.

That creates a fundamental contradiction in the user experience.

If I pay for credits to generate music, why should the ability to retrieve the music I created become a separate monthly quota?

And if I have already paid for the generation of hundreds of songs, why should I have to pay again simply to take those songs out of the platform?

The answer cannot simply be “because bad actors might abuse it.”

Bad actors can be addressed through abuse detection, fingerprinting, watermarking, distribution monitoring, account-level limits, automated fraud detection, suspicious-generation patterns, or other targeted systems.

Punishing legitimate high-volume creators because some users abuse the platform is not a good long-term strategy.

In fact, the new policy may unintentionally push some of your most valuable customers away.

Consider the difference between a spammer and a serious creator.

A spammer might generate thousands of songs and upload them everywhere.

A legitimate creator might also generate hundreds of songs — but because they are actually developing music projects, they may need to download dozens or hundreds of tracks to review, edit, archive, publish, or use in their productions.

From the outside, both users may look like “high-volume downloaders.”

But they are completely different customers.

The solution should distinguish between them.

What worries me even more is the message this sends to professional users.

If Suno becomes a platform where I can generate unlimited music but cannot freely retrieve my own work without paying another fee after an arbitrary threshold, then eventually I have to ask myself why I should build my creative workflow around Suno at all.

I could spend months creating a large library inside Suno, only to discover that accessing that library outside Suno has become another recurring expense.

That creates platform lock-in rather than customer loyalty.

And platform lock-in is not the same thing as customer satisfaction.

The strongest platforms in technology usually win because users WANT to stay, not because users are afraid of what it will cost to leave.

Please also remember that the people who pay for Pro and Premier plans are not merely numbers on a subscription dashboard.

We are the reason the platform has revenue.

We are the people buying credits.

We are the people testing your models.

We are the people generating enormous amounts of feedback.

We are the people creating content that demonstrates what Suno is capable of.

We are the people recommending Suno to other creators.

And many of us have built actual workflows around this service.

Changing a fundamental part of that workflow without giving users a genuinely reasonable alternative risks destroying trust very quickly.

I am not asking Suno to ignore abuse.

I am asking Suno to solve the abuse problem without turning legitimate customers into an additional revenue opportunity.

If you believe mass-export is the problem, then target mass-export.

If you believe fraudulent streaming is the problem, target fraudulent streaming.

If you believe automated accounts are the problem, target automated accounts.

If you believe bad actors are the problem, identify the bad actors.

But please do not make legitimate creators pay repeatedly simply because they create more music than the average user.

And please reconsider the idea that downloading should be treated as a separate consumable product after we have already paid for the service that generated the music.

There are countless examples in technology where companies introduced a restriction that looked financially attractive in the short term but damaged customer trust in the long term. Customers can tolerate price increases. Customers can tolerate new features being placed behind higher tiers. What customers have much more difficulty accepting is paying for a service and then discovering that a fundamental capability they relied on has been turned into a separate meter.

Suno has an enormous opportunity to become one of the defining creative platforms of this generation.

Please don't undermine that opportunity over download quotas.

Give creators reasonable tools.

Give professionals a plan that actually supports professional workflows.

Give high-volume legitimate users an appropriate option.

Use your watermarking, fingerprinting, fraud detection, distribution monitoring and other technologies to address abuse.

And if additional infrastructure costs are genuinely the issue, offer a reasonably priced professional tier or a high-volume creator plan instead of putting a small artificial ceiling in front of people who are already paying customers.

I have been happy to use Suno because it made music creation incredibly accessible and productive.

But if these download restrictions remain in their current form, I will seriously reconsider whether Suno should remain part of my workflow. And if I can no longer use the platform in a way that makes sense for my actual creative work, I will have no reason to continue paying for it — and I know I will not be the only customer making that decision.

Please listen to your paying creators before September 3.

Customer trust is one of the most valuable assets a company can have.

Once that trust is lost, it is much harder to recover than it is to preserve.

Please reconsider this policy, find a better way to distinguish legitimate creators from abusive mass-exporters, and give the people who have supported Suno the freedom to actually use the music they create.

I sincerely hope you will take this feedback seriously and reverse or substantially rethink these download limits before they take effect.

[laughduck @laughduck]

I create & animate longform videos.. i create soundtracks to them in @Suno. I am not creating slop - with the limits in place Sept i am being limited to 60 songs P/M. It’s very poor that Suno has notified restrictions without telling us what maintaining our workflows will cost.

[laughduck @laughduck]

@suno Some transparency on the cost of extra downloads would be good. I fully animate unique longform videos which i create soundtracks to, and download way over 60 songs a month.

[laughduck @laughduck]

@suno so how much you gonna charge people to download the content they create past your tight and unnaceptably stingy limitations? How about some transparency in this!

[laughduck @laughduck]

@suno please clarify the cost to download above the account limits being placed.

[Pascal Bornet @pascal_bornet]

A powerful reminder: perspective is everything!

I saw this video again today.
Created by the Guardian in 1986.
Still the smartest lesson in human perception.

It hits me every time:
We don’t see reality. We see our angle.
And a small shift can flip the whole story.

In the age of AI, this truth becomes brutal.
Two people can look at the same data, the same model, the same output —
and walk away with opposite conclusions.

Perspective isn’t a soft skill.
It’s a survival skill.

The leaders who win are the ones who can zoom in, zoom out, and question their own certainty.

This old Guardian ad reminds us of a timeless truth:
Change the view. Change the meaning. Change everything.

@GMB @susannareid100 So quick to use the far right label. Typical legacy media bias as per usual.

[laughduck @laughduck]

@4thOfJuly365 Free speech comes with personal responsibility and accountability to not incite harm or violence of others. Demanding censorship and deplatforming for opinions that do NOT incite harm/violence is not pro free speech. Sadly in the UK, we no longer have free speech. Rip CK.

@RupertLowe10 Unfortunately the hostile & intolerant left are usually the ones who are violent or acting like the very insults they use against those who lean right. Always a stark contrast to the mostly peaceful engaging people of the political right.
