Avast One stuck in Gold mode, cannot access the VPN

I had subscribed to Avast One Gold free trial and decided to cancel it after seeing the price. After the 2 months trial ended, I was not able to use the VPN again and instead of reverting me to free version, I kept getting reminders to renew my subscription. As well as that, the gold icon is still visible in the topright corner so I think it is still in Gold mode. How can I go back to the free version?
