It appears that if you've played before, you can't continue this weekend. "Trial Has Expired"

That's too bad.
So, you enjoyed it enough previously to play some more.... but not enough to buy it? So what's the 'con' that kept you from buying it?

I already finished the story, and don't replay most games. For the price of free, I reinstalled it to see if there was anything new. Otherwise, I have a list of already owned games to try and, with the price of the DLC, would wait until doing a month of Ubisoft+.

I also just wasted time downloading the game only to be hit with "trial has expired." :D It looks like they have updated the trial terms late last year, when they said:

With the The Division 2 Free Trial you can enjoy the game for up to eight hours.
Please note that as part of the Free Trial, you can only reach Level 8 maximum.

This probably applies to every free trial since then, even though the free weekend page doesn't specifically include this information. Pretty annoying they don't bother mentioning this new limitation there, since for years there was nothing stopping you from playing as much as you wanted/could during the free time.

Thanks for rooting that rule out. I'll include the info here now (and try my best in the future, too), especially considering it isn't given, as you pointed out, on the free weekend page.
