Not all benefits are impacted in the same way when a subscription expires. No benefits can be activated after your subscription expires. Benefits you've previously activated might still be available, depending on how they're authenticated. Most third-party benefits, such as Pluralsight training, are still available for the duration of the benefit. Benefits that require validation that a Visual Studio subscription is still current aren't available.

Many of the benefits included in Visual Studio subscriptions have specific durations. Benefits provided by Microsoft's partners such as Pluralsight, DataCamp, or WhiteSource have time limits after they're activated. Benefits you've previously activated are available to you for the remainder of their terms. For example, if you've activated a six-month LinkedIn Learning subscription and it still has four months remaining when your Visual Studio subscription expires, you can access it for those four months.
