Used to be able to get a photo and trace freely but now a free trial?

Back in 2024 april i used to be able to get the picture i wanted to trace and freely just trace it, but after i deleted it for space, everything changed to free trial now, you should change atleast a few things back so you can get it freely like the photo to line trace, it was fine in april 2024.
