I'm also assuming OP didn't really intend to pay if they're coming to a tool that they'll use for 5 minutes. They don't see the value in paying, I'm just reading between the lines there.
Maybe its still better to let them get a long free trial so they tell their friends about it, I dunno. Not a marketer, but it struck me as kind of disingenuous that if you came back to a tool after 3 months where you know you need to use it, they still don't want to pay.

Honestly I don't want a customer like OP back. They come across as extremely entitled and the whole post seems to condense down to "I don't want to pay for software, give it to me for free".
Then that's a terrible business model.
As a business, you want both customers to come back.
If a contiguous time-based trial model results in losing half your potential customers, while a usage-based trial model results in keeping all potential customers, then the contiguous time-based trial is objectively terrible.
So it doesn't demonstrate the usefulness at all.
