Originally when I signed up for proton unlimited they advertised it as being a student discounted plan not a coupon… Now I go to renew my membership, and it’s suddenly a coupon and not a plan anymore…. My account shows it as being a plan not a discount or coupon. It shows it as being a discounted plan. This is what is pushing me away from their service. Now going back to a free plan and using Mullvad VPN once again.

Out of curiosity, why would you post this here? This is more of a Proton support community than anything. Not really meant for accusations of the company to my knowledge. Also, I’ve been using Proton for ~3 years now and had never heard of a student discounted plan.
