Question about raising rates after a bad experience at a coffee shop in Denver

I was grabbing a coffee at this little spot in Denver last week and overheard two freelancers arguing about a client who refused to pay their new rate after they'd agreed to it in writing. The one guy said his buddy got stuck doing $200 of extra work because he didn't put a end date on the pricing in his contract. Has anyone else had a client try to lock in old rates forever even after you gave them a heads up about the hike?

Sounds like the client was smart to hold him to the old deal.

Yeah but the client wasn't exactly being smart, they were just stubborn. A price hike that big without notice is a dick move, but the old deal was probably already way under market.
