hi
I noticed that my tasks due today no longer auto update and appear in my Today section in My tasks
I view the today section on the web - My Tasks, and i have all my sections there including Today.
This is also the same on the android app.
Today has an automation that puts everything due today into that section.
2 days ago this stopped working.
It shows as disabled as of 2 days ago.
This is the Automation:
Due date is approaching Today → Move task to a certain section
ID: 1200372774983053
It now says I have to upgrade?
I have not changed or done anything, this has been working for years on the free plan.
Have asana changed something which means you now have to pay for this?
This is the first section i went to every morning and if you now have to pay for this it is extremely annoying and i will have to look for alternative solutions.

sorry, the correct term is a rule, not an automation.
its the little icon of a lightning bolt next to the section.
im in My Tasks view
when you click the lightning icon, it shows rules for this section, then when i click on it it asks me to upgrade.
it shows as last run 2 days ago, so what changed 2 days ago?

The same thing has happened to me. I also want to know what changed.
Hi @Jimmyss and @Rachel65,
I didn’t think rules were included in free plan, but maybe these My Tasks rules were an exception as you say you’ve had them working for years.
Am I correct in assuming these rules with the old rule builder? (Trigger to action in direction top to bottom as opposed to left to right)
I’d like to propose a workaround for this specific rule. You can group My Tasks by due date instead of sections. This means you won’t need to use rules anymore to group tasks by due date. You can find more info on group/sort/filter options in this thread: 🪄 Design magical tabs with group, sort, and filter!
Meanwhile flagging this thread for @Forum-team to see if they might know what’s going on.

I noticed that it appears v1 rules broke at least a couple days ago but v2 rules work fine. I have a Support request in but haven’t heard back.
Looking forward to hearing from the Forum Team…
Thanks,
Larry
Doing a search, it now shows rules as only available for paid users, and this appears to have changed 2 days ago
How annoying that they have removed features from legacy users rather than just new signups.
I dont know the difference between rules v1 and v2 but ill see if i can look.
Ill take a look at that mytask setup too
I am having the same issue. It also says it happened 3 days ago. I have never had the paid version and these rules for moving my tasks to “Today” when the due date is the currrent date was working fine! I would love to have this restored again (:
Unless they allow legacy and older account with pre access to keep it, you now need to upgrade to paid
To the best of my recollection: This used to be basic functionality built into the system from the start. Then when rules and sections were revamped a few years ago, the Today section rules were either implemented automatically or provided as examples.
It seems a policy change for rules has broken this essential functionality.
The question is, was this an accidental side effect of a separate change, or is it functionality that has intentionally been removed from the personal tier?
Is there some way to get an official answer to this? I need to know whether this is an accident that will be fixed or the effective end of the personal tier.

Following on this. Had this same exact problem of my only free Rule is now only for paid versions.
I have the same issue. I’m using Asana for ~15 years and it has always worked.
When I saw that now it’s a paid feature, I decided to pay (it’s $13/month), but… surprisingly found out that there are no plans for personal use (1-seat plans), so I have to pay $26/month. That’s too much for this feature.
