Maybe it was different when you used it, but when I had Humble Choice years ago, I remember that it was very clearly communicated that the "pause" is for one month only. Maybe a dark pattern that you have to remember, but it was shown

To me it was always pretty clear. Though I have heard there was some probable weirdness in the functionality. Still bit questionable of grandfathered "classic" subscribers were forced to go through this to keep their status. But that is pretty normal, only have seen one site that allows coming back later to subs at old sub.

With them killing the "classic" it doesn't really matter anymore. Better just to cancel.

Could be muddy memories, but yeah, leaving a Classic subscriber to that is a shame.
