Why does the "60-day trial" still appear after the Power BI free account has tried Pro or PPU for 60 days? It seems like it can be used indefinitely. Many people only use the free account and do not purchase the Pro account, yet they can enjoy PPU benefits, which is not quite reasonable. I hope this bug can be resolved.
Hi @xueqian
You can use a free account for your learning and explore Power BI features. However there are limitations for use for Professional and business purposes or for sharing reports and dashboards. If you share, without pro users, no one can see the reports. After completing your 60-day trial plan, you can still use the Power BI service, also you can extend PPU or Trial for more. It is not a bug.
Please find the below articles for more details

Hope my comment helps you, please mark this answer as SOLUTION. Appreciate your KUDOS ⬇️

You didn't understand what I meant. I'm not talking about extending the trial, but after the 60-day trial ends, the trial button appears again, and there's another 60-day trial, over and over again. There's no need to pay and you can keep trying Pro and PPU. However, I don't want my users to keep trying it out, I want them to pay for Pro.
