@Suzysue, Welcome to HP Support Community!
Before the price change happened, all HP customers received a notification, and also there was the information published on the HP Instant Ink page. Sorry to know you were not notified.
We shall escalate this issue to the concerned team.
Please look for a private message from me requesting additional information. Keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Community.
Please click “Accepted Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution. Click the “Kudos/Thumbs Up" on the bottom right to say “Thanks” for helping!
