Low battery - Surge pricing

Guys is this real? If the battery charge decreases the price increases. I was trying to book flights( I was in a hurry) , and at the moment the charge was below 20, prices were jumping. But the moment I plugged it in the power Bank the price decreased. (👀 Anyone from goib3bo can answer)

This is called hyper optimisation, creates bad experience for customer. Once should avoid these

I was pointing out to a friend how prices for cabs on ios are sometimes around 5-10% higher than that on an android phone. He laughed it off.

Wow haven’t noticed this before. Now will keep this in mind. But this is very predatory practice. Give 1 star review or tweet abt it.

It is reported in many places which have dynamic pricing My guess is it is AI behind it , it is just given some data and battery level is one of them , where the data shows that people with low battery have into a higher price and model just gets trained on it. It it is done on purpose a 👿 mind behind it 😀 A dark pattern for sure
