I see this block every time I open my email. Is this a bug I'm facing or is this the new normal?

I'm paid and have never seen an ad. Are you on an oddball subscription?

Here is the add

I just got it again. Note how Unlimited is grayed out, because that's the subscription I already have. Also note the "ProtonVPN" at the top. This is a nearly full screen ad that just popped up when I opened the app.

That's odd. Are you on OSX or is that just a window theme? I run on Linux so maybe the ads aren't pushed to that set of apps. I'd reach out to their support to confirm if this is a bug or expected behaviour. Also to voice how annoying it is if it is expected behaviour

I'm on MacOS. As I said in my original reply, I've expressed my dissatisfaction several times.

I have no idea what that means. I have unlimited.
