Likely will need a subscription now or renew it and see if you meet the requirements.

The hobbyist license have been changing quite a bit:

How am I no longer meeting the requirements for hobbyist?

[mdavis22569]

I didn't say that.. what I said was:

 and see if you meet the requirements, that they have been changing it.. 

Then I gave you a link.

However if you're not, you likely won't find that answer on this forum. It would be Autodesk themselves that would have to answer that. 

This is a lot of users / experts and some Autodesk employees on there helping.

As I mentioned before, I’ve tried 3 times for renewal, the instructions
aren’t clear at all. I’ve tried a reinstall too, there is no where to ask
for help except here.

I saw: This is my 3rd day of trying to re-activating.

Didn't know it was a redoing it each time.
Unfortunately then if you're tried 3x's you'll need to get at subscription. 

I've seen a lot of the hobbyist not get renewed

Oh well guess I’ll be making a new account.

I can’t justify paying the exorbitant price for all those features when the
hobbyist one suits me fine. I’m only doing basic designs. Nothing to
specify how long you can have hobbyist for.

Id oh $10 or $20 a month, but not $60, even adobe creative cloud is cheaper
than that.

Probably won't be posting: Oh well guess I’ll be making a new account.
I can’t justify paying the exorbitant price for all those features when.

I get ya, I think they cracked down because while you're a smaller user, there were people abusing the system.

It’s a shame there are ones that abuse it. I’m all for paying for it, but
they offer it for free for hobbyists for a reason, the community is what
grows the business and the product, the community create things that show
off fusion360 or create tutorials that show how to do things. Without the
community’s help, fusion 360 wouldn’t necessarily be where it is.

Thanks

All think with all the years of free / hobbyist - that Autodesk might be trying to recoup some of the cost.  (not saying you, but others that were abusing it) 

[thealexproctor]

is there any way to contact them directly? or only this form?

[mdavis22569]

I would try this:
