Pratilipi's premium subscription feature works in a way that once your subscription expires, any parts of the stories you’ve read using the subscription will be locked again. After your subscription ends, you won’t be able to immediately continue reading from where you left off unless you use coins or wait to unlock the parts. Only the parts you unlocked and read outside of a subscription will remain accessible, while all others will be locked. For instance, if you hadn't unlocked and read a series before subscribing, chapters starting from part 16 might be locked once the subscription ends.

To explain the premium subscription further: when you purchase a Pratilipi premium subscription, all parts of all stories on the platform are unlocked for you. Think of it as a rental plan for reading locked content on Pratilipi during the subscription period. 

In simpler terms, it’s similar to buying a one-month subscription on an OTT platform. When you subscribe to an OTT service, you’re not purchasing permanent access to movies and series; you’re renting access for a specific period. Once the subscription ends, you lose access to that content unless you renew it. Likewise, the Pratilipi subscription grants you access to read all stories without any locks for the duration of the subscription. However, this doesn’t mean that the content is permanently unlocked for you. So, when the subscription period ends, the content will be locked again, which is completely normal.

This design isn’t unique to Pratilipi; it’s a standard approach for subscription features on platforms worldwide.
