@tomasbrooks00 There's a natural tension between valuable ad space and the listening experience.

Because of that, we're actively testing the length of these sessions to provide the best listening experience for everyone. As a result, the average length and availability of your complimentary session may fluctuate.

Due to licensing restrictions, we have to limit the number of Premium Access sessions per person.

If you're hitting a limit, it means you've used quite a few of these sessions lately. We're so glad you're enjoying the extra functionality.

I know that limits like this can be frustrating, so I'll definitely pass along your feedback.

Hope we continue to see you around the community!

But how long does the limit last though.

This doesn't actually answer the question though. We're trying to determine the criteria used.

Is it a 24 hour time period? 1 week? And how many premium sessions within that time period?

When did you start limiting premium sessions for free members?

What gives? I don't get it.

Ok so I pay for a Pandora, I can see them putting a limit on a free subscriber member, but why pay for a service and be limited? and the question everyone keeps ask that hasn't been answered is how long before the limit is off?

I've been listening to ads in order to listen to specific songs, but all of the sudden I received a message saying I have hit a temporary limit, but I've been using Pandora like this for years, is this a new change, and if so what is the limit?

I bet this is probably a marketing scheme, they do this so we are more encouraged to buy premium/to get premium.
