40 minute cut-off

I have a basic plan. It reads that one-to-one meetings should be allowed up to 30 hours. Mine cut off at 40 minutes. Am I not understanding the plan correctly? Or was this a technical error in Zoom’s part?

Often this is caused by someone disconnecting and rejoining the meeting, which Zoom counts as 2 separate joins to the meeting. Between those 2 joins by that participant and your joining, that makes 3 participants and begins the 40-minute limit.
