Meta is pausing rate limits for its smart glasses' Conversation Focus feature, which uses the glasses' speakers to amplify a conversation partner's voice. Meta spokesperson Tyler Yee told The Verge, "we heard the feedback so we're pausing its subscription tests for now," adding that "Conversation Focus will remain available for free through our Early Access Program for early testers while we work on a better approach." Last month, Meta discreetly added rate limits, making the feature free until three hours a month, after which users would have to pay for a $20-a-month Meta One Premium Plan with a cap of 15 hours of use per month. Yee stated that Meta wants "to make sure we get it right" and is "still exploring all our options for the best approach." He also noted that "some premium features will be subscription-based over time," attributing this to how charging helps sustain Meta's strategy of subsidizing hardware prices.
