God knows if its actually still in beta or if its just a web site fuckup.

> They also like using the word *unlimited*.

Not in isolation. They use 'unlimited hours'

They make it very clear that its not unlimited downloads.

> The Essential plan is not unlimited,because their are limits with this plan.

The total hours you use it a month is unlimited. The amount
you can download is limited, and so is the session length too.
