8 hours gone. Fusion 360 "expired" and refused to allow saving in ANY form.

I spent over 8 hours designing a project and Fusion 360 refused to let me save because it said my license "Expired". I couldn't save it in the cloud, I couldn't save it in ANY form. The knowledgebase told me to download and sign up for a personal license again to renew. My connection was fine - I did that, and waited. Still showed expired. So, with the inability to save my project in any manner, I tried signing out, in spite of the "Unsaved *" project that I could do nothing about. I received no "unsaved project" warning - I was just immediately signed out, and upon signing back in, there was nothing. I couldn't even have saved that file by paying for a full subscription if I had chosen to.

 

That was the most predatory user experience I've ever experienced. I have NEVER encountered a company that will let you spend an entire day designing, then flush your project because you didn't subscribe.  **** you, Autodesk. I really do mean it. I will NEVER use any of your software again, and I will actively steer people away from it when prompted for recommendations.

Didn't you save every 5-10 minutes as you progressed?

When you actively steer people as an influencer - will you explain logic of not saving in 8 hours?
