There is a 5 camera limit for 7-day free recording using the WireFree, Pro, and Pro-2 cameras.  https://kb.arlo.com/88/What-are-the-available-Arlo-subscription-plans-and-how-much-cloud-recording-i...

 

A workaround is to get a second base station.  Set up that base on a different account, and shift one or more cameras to it.  Then grant access to the cameras to your current account.
