Summary

  • Expanded the "Change monetization" section in monetize/index.mdx with structured subsections covering significant vs non-significant changes, the 14-day notice period, inability to cancel planned changes without admin help, and the ~1 month restriction cycle
  • Rental is no longer an option, but existing rentals will stay for some time, so lets not remove it everywhere yet.

Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only changes; main risk is confusing creators if any pricing-model wording or internal links are incorrect.

Overview
Updates creator-facing monetization docs to remove Pay-per-result (PPR) and consistently present monetization as Pay-per-event (PPE) or Rental (including updated page descriptions and a simplified comparison table).

Expands and aligns the “Change monetization” guidance across docs by clearly separating significant vs non-significant changes, documenting the 14‑day notice flow, the once-per-month restriction, and the need to contact support to cancel a planned significant change.

Expand the "Change monetization" section with details on significant vs
non-significant changes, the 14-day notice period, inability to cancel
planned changes, and the ~1 month restriction cycle. Remove PPR references
from creator-facing documentation.

Closes #25889

The waiting period is simply that the next change also takes 14 days,
not an additional waiting period on top.

- Add TODO comment about incorrect profit math in PPE example
- Use "significant" instead of "major" in why_publish.md
- Use "once per month" instead of "once every 30 days" in pay_per_result.mdx
- Update rental marketing copy to flag sunset instead of promoting it

Thanks for the review @TC-MO, I've completely removed the "Choose pay-per-event" paragraph since you can't choose anything else now.
