Well, bad news for anyone planning to buy a Dongle 2 in 2026. I tried installing a brand new Dongle 2 on my friend's Air 3S on January 4th. The free one-year trial period of the previous dongle was due to expire today, January 7th. However, when I installed the new dongle, the expiration date hadn't been updated and still showed the one-year period counted from last year (07/01/2024 to 07/01/2025). If anyone has a similar experience in other areas, please let me know.
 
Not sure what you mean.

Are you saying that a subscription cannot be renewed?

Yes, right now in Brazil there is no way to renew the subscription for one more year when the trial period expires. So my friend bought a new dongle thinking that it would have a new free one year trial period but could not used it. After install we checked the info on DJI Fly under "accessories" and the date was the same as the old dongle.
 
That is concerning.

Majority of my flights are on 4G, so losing that function or not being able to renew that function is a huge disadvantage.

I wonder what's causing this? Could it be the DJI ban in the USA?

But then, the Cellularu dongle never worked in the USA to start with, so it couldn't be that.

Why Brasil, I wonder?

By the same logic, before the release dates, DJI decided to never to sell the Mavic 4 Pro nor the Mini 5 Pro in the USA, but still made them both broadcast manufacturers' RID based off GPS location in the USA, even though adding an external RID module would have been preferable to everyone, as the external modules do not update the location of the pilot, offering a measure of safety to the pilot, and are still in complete FAA compliance.
