According to the post you replied to, if you decide to cut back on the tools budget, you could still continue using the version that was released on the last day of your subscription. You just wouldn't get updates.
I believe you have misunderstood the grand-parent post.
the agreement is that you can use the software infinitely with the version that was available on the last day of the subscription term.
Is true for the old licensing model, but not the new model.
As far as I can tell (but JetBrains' attempts to spin this are making it hard to find a definitive statement) if you stop paying your monthly fee, you have to stop using the IDE.
