We are removing the option to create new subscriptions

I, personally, care a large amount about convenience. I don't want to think about bills at all. I've been a Mullvad subscriber for years on a PayPal recurring payment. It works so well that I don't even think about it. I just use it.

Having to think about paying a bill every month is really a pain to me. I get the privacy ideals, but the tradeoffs are not ridiculous. I should be able to make a decision about how private I want to be, not have Mullvad decide for me so that they can feel better about themselves.

I will probably move over to Mozilla VPN now, since they will continue to rely on Mullvad for their infrastructure but allow me to pay them in a convenient way. I guess compromises are in order.

So just pay once for an entire year, if you use them often, or the flat monthly rate, whenever you need. This doesn't sounds too much of a hassle, especially considering the price.

Others can correct me, but I believe each payment just adds a month of time to your balance. So a number of months can be added at once.

You can pre-pay an entire year at once as well.

You don't have to pay every month. You can just pay them a lump sum in advance. As far as I understand you can still do this like before.
