NOT paying for features we paid for....

I have about 1.5 months before the trial access to Drive Connect and Remote Connect on my 2026 Premium expire. While I expect my app access and Toyota navigation to be disabled, I'm wondering what else I might lose? For Toyota Safety Sense 3.0/Traffic Jam Assist, OM states that "It is necessary to enter a connected services contract, provided by Toyota, to use these functions." Has anyone noticed if any of these systems stopped working?

I went to google because I thought what is the Traffic Jam assistance witch craft. I have a 1958 and found that I don’t have it :cool: and I am fine with that.
I did find the answer to your question also and yes it’s subscription based. Below is what I got from google. FYI: Looks like you need the drive connect/Navigation subscription. Which is $15 per month and includes everything which is actually down from the $25 per month Toyota previously was charging. So a little good news at least.

Goggle response.
The Land Cruiser 1958 edition comes equipped with a smaller 8-inch base infotainment touchscreen. On Toyota models where TJA is offered, the feature is fundamentally tied to Toyota's Drive Connect cloud subscription. This subscription handles the cloud-based mapping, GPS data, and real-time traffic monitoring required for the vehicle to verify it is on a supported, limited-access freeway before allowing hands-free operation. On many base Toyota models utilizing the smaller 8-inch screen, the initial Drive Connect trial required to easily access or utilize TJA is omitted or altered.

Thanks for your input. I haven't used TJA, so when that goes, it won't be missed. I'm thinking that Road Sign Assist is also web based and would be disabled without paying for connectivity. (This also wouldn't be a significant loss.) I'm just not sure about any of the other "Driving assist systems" such as lane departure, automatic high beam, lane tracing assist, etc. I wouldn't think most of these systems require connectivity, but you never know..
