Some plans created by creators support the "Unlock feature."
With these plans, the range of posts you can view expands over time—starting from when you join—through continued subscription or purchases.
This does not affect plans you joined before this feature was introduced, or plans that do not use the Unlock feature. You can check whether this mechanism is used on the plan's subscription screen.
Range you can view right after joining
- Viewable: posts from the current month and the previous month
- Not viewable: posts older than the month before last
Posts are unlocked for free as you continue
As you keep your subscription, past posts are automatically unlocked for free.
- For every 2 months of continued subscription, one additional past month is unlocked for free
- The free unlock is reflected the month after you reach 2 months of continued subscription
- While subscribed, you can also view new posts each month
Example) If you join in June
| Subscription status | Viewable range |
|---|---|
| Right after joining | June, May |
| 2 months continued (as of August) | August–April |
| 4 months continued (as of October) | October–March |
| 6 months continued (as of December) | December–February |
Purchase past months to view them (Unlock purchase)
Without waiting for your subscription to continue, you can also purchase past months and view them right away.
- Both purchasing and viewing are only possible while you are subscribed to the plan
- This is not a one-time purchase, so you will no longer be able to view them once you cancel
Notes when canceling
When you cancel a plan, you will no longer be able to view both of the following.
- Posts you could view through the plan
- Posts you gained access to through an Unlock purchase
If you want to view them again, you will need to subscribe to the plan once more.
About posts whose publication period has expired
Posts for which the creator set a publication deadline that has already passed (posts turned into back numbers) are not covered by the Unlock feature.
They cannot be viewed through continuation benefits or Unlock purchases; they can only be viewed if you separately purchase the back number.
