"Sending a new email using an alias is a premium feature." when using extension or mobile app.

Hi!

I've started using SimpleLogin self-hosted and have been getting good value out of it so far. However, I can't create a new reverse-alias when I'm using the Chrome extension or mobile app, it only works when I do it directly in the dashboard. I get the message:
"Sending a new email using an alias is a premium feature."
Is this seriously limited even for self-hosted users? Or is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
I have set myself as a premium user in my self-hosted instance.

Thanks for any help!

For self hosting, we recommend to set your account to lifetime so you don't run into any limits, more info on https://github.com/simple-login/app/blob/disable-pgp-onboarding-proton-mail/README.md#L534

hi, that link is a 404 but I assume you're referring to this step:

docker exec -it sl-db psql -U myuser simplelogin
UPDATE users SET lifetime = TRUE;
exit

I did that and I am configured as a lifetime premium member. As mentioned I can create reverse aliases on the web dashboard, just not the extension or the app.
