This post from Russell Lloyd in 2016 explicitly explains the identical issue I'm experiencing.
I am NOT using your product as a professional & my reading habits have been essentially identical for years.
Why is this error occurring & how do I rectify it?
I have subscribed for many years without any issues. It is a great service. For the last 6 months or so I keep getting a message that I have been reading a lot this month? Isn't that the point? The message goes on to tell me If using professionally I should upgrade my plan. I am not a professional and the only person using the app. I am retired. I get this message on the 1st of the month mind you. In addition, my 5 subscriptions do not download automatically anymore. I use to recommend the app to everyone. I stopped because it is no longer friendly. What is going on? Is this an attempt for more revenue? This is annoying and not the first time I have complained. Also, I would have liked to contact PressReader about this issue. I may be wrong but is there an easy way to get support? I haven't found it. There should be a link on the website. Is anyone else getting this message? It is very annoying.

Hi Tom,
I see that our colleagues have bene in touch by email. This is a message that readers will get, in case our system suspects that they may be using the subscription for professional purposes. You are currently on a Personal subscription which is intended for personal use only.
Cheers,

i too have been getting this message. I've used press reader for years (via apple address that i no longer have) and never saw this message ..... and now I am reading slightly less, if anything - on average three papers a day over three devices -and am clearly not a professional (whatever that is), merely someone paying to read the "over 7000 titles" most of which are of little or no interest.
@Diana, this message appears after you have passed a fair usage threshold, which does not disable your access. It is simply to notify you that you may have passed 200 issues which is considered a fair usage in a month.
