I use LR a lot but haven't done in a few months. Just jumped back in and saw that masking and healing are now premium features. This used to be part of the monthly LR payment and now we're paying more to access these features? Why are you charging more?

I am not Adobe, but this is what I understand-
The new 'Masking' features are included in all 'paid' Lightroom versions. (Not the 'Free' version)
A "Premium" subscription is for Mobile devices (phones iPads) only.
A subscription from Adobe for the Lightroom Plan includes all mobile devices and desktop PCs and Macs. ie. One subscription from Adobe covers all devices.
What is your subscription 'Plan', and who do you pay the subscription to?
And a subscription that includes Photoshop, Lightroom-Classic, Lightroom, etc (on all devices) from Adobe: is this plan-

You are not charged more if you already have a monthy subscription. "Premium" is the monthly subscription for iOS only.

Hi,
Using your ID from this forum I see you have a monthly subscription to Photoshop with 100GB storage. It sounds like you may have used Lightroom on a trial basis and were able to access the Mask and Healing brushes but that is no longer the case.
You could subscribe to the Photography plan with 1TB for $1 less than you pay now and have access to Photoshop and the entire Lightroom Ecosystem. (Classic, desktop, mobile, web)

Once you have that set up you could cancel your original subscription.

I hope that helps.

I have always had access to masking and healing features and have paid for my subscription for a long time now. Look at my subscription below

I've just send you a private message with some instructions. It looks like that you are signed-in with the wrong Adobe-id. Hope this hellps - Guido/ lr QE
