Thanks everyone for the advice!
I am only using the web or mobile client, never tried the desktop client. No desire to install the desktop client as I mostly access on my phone. Honestly if I am gonna export anyway, I'll probably just move to a different tool. Had a good run here for 12 years on the free plan, but understand they need to make money. I'm sure this has been talked to death in the forums, but I sure wish there was some (non-zero!) pricing option that suited my use-level (which is about 2 hours a year, I mostly keep some lists like "movies to watch" and occasional-use trip packing lists in it, rather than using it for more complex tasks) but the one-size-fits-most pricing seems focused on people who use the tool a lot more than me.
