I lost my free credits they were giving away a couple years back, but when you pay they make it fairly clear they will expire. I see no issues here from any provider doing this, as long as it is made clear.
I have many issues with providers doing that. The reason they take your money and give you credits in exchange is because that gives them lower credit card processing fees (one larger transaction vs. many smaller ones). If they're going to do that to make things cheaper for them, then they should let me use those credits whenever I want, no matter how far into the future I want to use them.
If not, they should refund them. They absolutely should refund them if I close my account.
If I'm going to give you money, I expect something in return for every cent of it. That's just basic decency.

That is not the main reason why they do this. The main reason why they do this is to get easy access to what essentially amounts to free capital, effectively it is an interest free loan from you to them.
Even though they do make it clear, one should still have an issue with providers doing it. The reason is that various providers like Uber, Lyft, Namecheap, and some cloud vendors, etc. do not do it at all. As such it is a fairly unethical practice.
These aren't contradictory. If I say I'm going to steal your phone and then I do, notifying you beforehand doesn't absolve me of criminal liability. One could argue that it's a contractual arrangement, but there's a well established doctrine of unconscionability in contract law. It's especially applicable when contracts are unilateral rather than being negotiated between peers.
Back in 2018 Bullhorn ATS tried this on me, and even asked me to retake it because the recruiter said “you didn’t score high enough” despite passing the actual interview.
Thanks, I've not! But given the battery mass fraction is 53% for this build, rule of thumb is about 30% of a VTOL's weight for battery if you want to include payload. So I could just use a smaller 6S battery.
Or I could probably add another ~0.5 lbs or a little more without issue. The lifting motors hover at 45% ish throttle so there is some headroom for more payload without reducing battery mass fraction.
