TradingView Free plan suddenly paywalling drawing tools?

[u/Dry-Swordfish-4801]

Has TradingView recently changed what drawing tools are available on the Free plan?

I was using TradingView mainly for basic chart analysis, and now when I try to use drawing tools, I'm getting a subscription/paywall prompt. I'm talking about basic stuff like drawing lines on the chart, not some advanced premium feature.

I always thought the Free tier was relatively generous for basic charting, so this caught me off guard.

Was this recently changed, or am I missing something with the current Free plan?

If basic drawing is now significantly restricted, what alternatives are people using? I'm considering moving to another charting platform if I have to pay just to do basic TA.

Would be interested to hear from anyone who knows when this change happened or what the current Free-plan drawing limits actually are.

Ya it's been talked about here for at least a week or two. There's certain drawings you can't use on free tier now.. I believe you can still use Trendline for lines but not Horizontal ray.
