I have had this 6-cam system for a couple of years and relatively few issues.  Just opened the desktop site and 2 of my 6 cams say inactive and need a subscription.  What's with that?  

 

In Nov '20 I bought a Ultra 4K   4-cam system for a relative's home and monitored it for a few months until  I turned the system over with the home sale. I've been getting subscription notices for the newer system and now I'm down to 4 cams on my old system. 

Any ideas?

What cameras and base do you have in this system?

The normal account limit for the 7-day cloud recording is 5 cameras only.  But it looks like you purchased a 6-camera system originally, so your limit is supposed to be 6.

 

You might need support's help to resolve this (which is unfortunate, since support now charges).  Though see if @JamesC or one of the other Arlo folks has a suggestion for you to try first.
