 Prices live in `web/services/billing/plans.ts` and are provisioned by `web/scripts/stripe/provision-catalog.sh`. Current checkout keys: `cmux-pro-monthly-50` ($50/mo), `cmux-pro-yearly-480` ($480/yr, $40/mo equivalent), `cmux-team-monthly-60` ($60/user/mo), `cmux-team-yearly-576` ($576/user/yr, $48/mo equivalent). Stripe amounts are immutable, so a price change mints a new lookup key carrying the amount and adds the old key to `LEGACY_PRICE_LOOKUP_KEYS`; grandfathered Prices (`cmux-pro-monthly` $30, `cmux-pro-yearly` $240, `cmux-pro-yearly-288` $288, `cmux-team-monthly` $35, `cmux-team-yearly-336` $336) stay active for the subscriptions on them and `/dashboard/billing` prices every row from its own Stripe amount. Env price-id overrides carry the amount in their name (`STRIPE_PRO_MONTHLY_50_PRICE_ID` and friends); a retired name fails env validation, so delete it from Vercel before deploying a price change. Test-mode Pro product `prod_UyHgRPpmCzrkLJ`, live `prod_Uq4a28vk0fP3E6`. Staging webhook endpoint `we_1Tq1SZGhInAdn3JbWJReKNEN` forwards to `cmux-staging.vercel.app`; its secrets are already in the `cmux-staging` Vercel project.
 
-The paid Cloud VM allowance lives in `web/services/vms/machineSpec.ts`: Pro allows up to 50 machines for one paid account. Team grants 50 machines per paid seat, so each paid seat adds one allowance and one shared pool. Each allowance shares 5 vCPU, 20 GB RAM, and 200 GB disk across its Cloud VMs. New provider machines start with a 32 GB disk and can grow. The VM repository persists reservations and enforces the aggregate pool under the billing-team lock, treating CPU and memory as shared ceilings and adding disk claims; the entitlement module only resolves the allowance and shared-capacity policy. `web/tests/pro-pricing.test.ts` pins the pricing copy and the provider starting disk.
+The paid Cloud VM allowance lives in `web/services/vms/machineSpec.ts`: Pro allows up to 50 machines for one paid account. Team grants 50 machines per paid seat. Each machine has its own CPU, memory, and disk; there is no aggregate resource pool. The default machine has 8 GB RAM and 32 GB disk. Disk grows independently up to 256 GB. The repository enforces machine counts under the billing-team lock and tracks individual shapes for fork, snapshot, and resize recovery. Paid-limit environment overrides are retired; the create kill switch remains the incident control.
