Pandora limit?

Who knew you could reach a limit of listening time on Pandora? I didn't. But apparently you have 40 hours of free listening per month and I am almost to my limit.

Here are my options from Pandora:

1. Pay 99 cents.

2. Pay $36 to upgrade to Pandora One for unlimited monthly listening.

3. Pay Nothing. If neither of the above options is right for you, simply come back in December to start listening to your stations again.

Pssh. I love you Pandora, but I think I can come back at the beginning of the month and keep listening.
