My trial search was on the linguistic field. The summary was not provided anything from academia.edu (just one example to cite science) . Also did not have any non English language sources.

All subscriptions are automatically renewed without any notification, which means if you only want to try it for one month and forget to cancel, it will keep charging indefinitely until you realize it. There's no email reminder, which is really unreasonable and terrible. I ended up paying for 5 months but only used it for 1 month. Even if I forgot i made an automatic renewal subscription, just an email reminder could have minimized my loss.

few days i used this in a good way, and now i am also facing this error "The request could not be satisfied. Request blocked. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner. If you provide content to customers through CloudFront, you can find steps to troubleshoot and help prevent this error by reviewing the CloudFront documentation." Kindly somebody tell me how to solve this issue thanks
