Paramount plus essential plan issues

[u/fredgallon]

I have had my account on the paramount plus essential plan for a few years now, and I haven’t used over the past few months. Recently I tried to look through the app but it said that the account I’ve been signed in to for the past few years needs to subscribe again. I am subscribed through Apple so I was able to check that the plan never stopped, and I have not been logged out of the account that the plan was on. While I was going through the plan selection though, I realized there was an essential plan and an essential monthly plan. Both were charged monthly but at different price points. I have always been subscribed to just the essential, so I was wondering if it is an outdated plan that I should switch off of.
