This Project Has Custom Brand Elements

To Whom It May Concern,

    I have been using Adobe Express for many years, since back when it was still Spark, and I've recently encountered a very disruptive error. Whenever I try to access some of my projects, I hit a paywall. The prompt states that "This project has custom brand elements. To edit, I'll need an Adobe Express subscription". I've seen other users post similar issues from a few months back, but it doesn't seem as if anything has been resolved. Can I please get an update on what is causing this issue, when it is expected to be fixed, and what kind of workarounds exist so that I can access my projects? As it stands, I've been cut off from several projects that I was actively working on/using, and the error is now disrupting my work flow pretty significantly. I hate imagining that Adobe would erect paywalls with no warning and cut users off from their work deliberately.
