A new goal I created tells me I can’t decrease my pledge to $1 because pledgeless goals are a feature of the Beemium plan. This is a bug, yes? ![no-decrease](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/beeminder/original/2X/b/b333c47ae5a2f5f638d49d4f960b9ebab4b18a2d.png) ---

1 is the new 0! 😃 ---

Not quite a bug, but I’m having trouble thinking of the word I need… Using the low starting pledges ($0 and $1) after your first derail is a Beemium-only feature, so the fact that you can’t lower it is not the bug, but the wording needs to be changed to something more apropos than “pledgeless” now we have $1 starters. ---

Hmmm… could that restriction be waved for the first week or day or something? In this case I created the goal fully intending to start it at $1, but got distracted while creating the goal. That’s why I was trying to push it back down after the fact.
