-As part of the phased deprecation of our [Free plan](/docs/manage/manage-subscription/sumo-logic-flex-accounts), Sumo Logic trial accounts created after \[DATE] will have data ingestion reduced to zero after the 30-day trial ends.
+To help you get the most from your trial and clearly understand what happens next, we've outlined what to expect after your 30-day Flex free trial.
 
-### What’s changing
+* **Days 0–30**. Enjoy full access to ingest data, create dashboards, search logs, set up alerts, and explore the platform.
+* **Days 31–37**. Data ingestion pauses. You can continue querying your existing data for 7 days based on your retention settings.
+* **Days 38–68**. Keep exploring with Kickstart Data, a curated set of sample data and dashboards that let you try features like search, dashboards, and alerts.
+* **Day 69+**. All data, including Kickstart, is removed. You can still log in to view your dashboards and will see an upgrade prompt to continue using Sumo Logic.
 
-* **Days 0–30**. Full access to ingest data, create dashboards, search logs, set up alerts, and explore the platform.
-* **Days 31–37**. Ingestion stops. You can continue querying existing data for 7 days, subject to retention.
-* **Days 38–68**. Access to Kickstart Data remains, allowing continued platform exploration.
