What happens when my paid account expires?

When your paid account expires, you will lose access to all the extra services available to paid accounts.

If you have more icons uploaded than a free account is able to use, icons will be marked "inactive" until you are down to the number of icons available to a free account. Icons will be deactivated by the number of times they have been used on top-level posts in your own journal, with the least-used icons being inactivated first. Uses in comments to your journal, comments to other journals, and comments or posts in communities are not counted for determining least-used icons. Inactive icons do not appear on your icons page and are not available for use, but they are not deleted from the service. If you renew your paid account, those icons will be reactivated.

If you have more tracking subscriptions, journal subscriptions, journals granted access to, layout layers/styles, tags, or links in your links list than a free account is able to use, none of them will be deactivated, but you will not be able to add more until you edit them to bring them down to the number a free account is able to use.

If you have created a custom mood theme, you will not need to stop using it, but if you change to a different mood theme, you will not be able to change back to your custom mood theme.

If you've chosen to display the paid-user "Search" and "Recent Active Entries" modules in your journal style, they will no longer display in your journal.

If you renew your paid account, you will have access to all the extra features again.
