A good chance. Depends on if they think the free tier is still stacking up for them.

E.g. getting their name out there with hobbyists means people recognise the name at work and have staff already familiar, is this still important? Probably not, considering how widespread they are now.

Being able to say in sales speeches they mitigate X billion DDOS attacks and X trillion GB of data saved etc, maybe that is still worth it to them to keep the free tier in order to win big contracts?

Since they dropped their no video streaming clause from the T&Cs of free accounts, I'm guessing they aren't about to back down on the unlimited bandwidth but over time they are adding more and more value add premium features, which may be their core strategy.

But I do not doubt that they will drop or enshittify the free tier as soon as they think it's the best strategic move.
