At some point, I was prompted to upgrade, with no indication that it would invalidate my license. Subsequently, there was no obvious path to downgrade. I'm not sure how many people are in my boat, but that left a sour taste. I like the product, but not enough to read the fine print in the license agreement and pay for it again.

Just uninstall and get old versions at https://www.sublimetext.com/2 or https://www.sublimetext.com/3

Since you are licensed you can just disable update check.

I used my licensed old ST for years like this, but recently purchased the new version to get wayland support.

I’m in the same boat. I’m using ST4 unlicensed until they downgrade me back to ST3 automatically.
