No, because I am dealing with this right now. I stopped paying for Flickr Pro after 20+ years and can only download my photos in bulk as 1024px resolution in order to get back under the free plan limits unless I pay for Flickr Pro… which is $82/year. My photos are held hostage unless I pay.

Have you tried this?

"if you ever need a copy of your data, members can always request and download their content, including original files, through the Flickr Data section of your settings."

Tried it today. Don't think it will have my comments, but I'd probably have to write a custom thing to fetch those anyway. I have about 6,000 photos on there so I'll see what happens.
Just tried it out. The data download option in your account settings gives you the full resolution. You need no plan whatsoever.
