It used to be free 1GB of mailbox storage that kept expanding for free. Now there is a hard limit unless you pay.

I don't think anybody expected that to last forever. That said, the free limit is still way more than enough for most people. I've got 20 years of emails in my account, and I'm just barely past my free limit.
