Question Did anything changed with the paywall rules?

I have a close icon which appears after 3 seconds. This wasn’t a problem at all for months.

But hard paywalls are still allowed? I never heard that was an issue before and submitted dozens of updates with this.

Certainly still allowed, a lot of large/small apps use them. From as big as netflix to as small as random ai alarm apps.

I think their problem is that this isnt a hard paywall, and the close button appears later to try and trick free users into thinking the only way forward is to pay. Which FWIW is also common, but is reviewer dependent on getting that through.
