I’ve had Plex for many years and I payed for Remote Watch. But now it wants a subscription from me. What do I do?
I don’t think so. You may have payed the “unlock fee” for the old Plex mobile app, but that has nothing to do with the Remote Watch Pass.
There are new rules in effect.
The “unlock fee” for the old mobile app is no longer needed.
If you want to stream remotely from your server, you need a Remote Watch Pass OR a Plex Pass.

If your player device is in the same local network as your server, you might want to peruse https://forums.plex.tv/t/client-says-it-wont-play-from-remote-server-although-the-server-is-local/921148/1 to try and fix this.
