There's always a reason and if you follow Mark's information above, you'll likely see what the reduction was from. It was likely a space promotion that expired, either from a mobile device or HP, Dell, etc.
over the years I referred so many people I had earned extra space - I have now been reduced and files I could once open I am no longer "eligible" to open!!! ANd so unless I pay more my files are hostage :( wth - so much for earned space

Space earned from referrals is permanent. You don't lose it. If you've had a reduction in space then it was likely from some other time limited bonus, such as that from a mobile device, certain computer brands or some other promotion.
Also, a reduction is space doesn't prevent you from opening any files. There is no "eligibility" for open files you store in Dropbox. Your files are your files, and Dropbox cannot prevent you from using them.
