No. That is not how subscriptions work.

You have to be extremely careful with terminology here. What *exactly* do you have? What exact product licences are showing in ILM and your Avid account?

If you have an ultimate subscription and it ends, Pro Tools stops being usable, as you have no license. You can restart another monthly or annual subscription at any time.

If you have a perpetual license and your update/support plan ends you can keep using pro tools versions released up until that final date. Nobody calls the update and support plan a "subscription", they are very different things. The customer hostage threat however is after a one month grace period you just can't start a new update/support plan, you have to pay more for a reinstatement.... and they may or may not be available in future. And now Avid is calling a reinstatement an upgrade to confuse things further. There is no monthly update and support plan price, it's annual only. You can purchase a reinstatement from a reseller (not Avid directly) and decide to activate that in future, that gives you insurance you can get back on the update/support plan.

Be very careful, if had a perpetual license in the past and took some promotional deals you may have surrendered that perpetual license and now have a subscription. If so it will stop working.

Actual pricing for this you should be able to find online, and you should be able to do that yourself if you are looking for the right thing.
