I submitted before 8/11, and at that time I chose the subscription mode for submission. I would like to ask if I still need to pay the page fee if the acceptance is delayed until next year? It would be really outrageous if that's the case. 
By the way, here is my submission record:
8.2 stj
8.5 we & revised (first we and then requested author contribution)

I checked domestically, only one unit can waive the OA fee, and it is still within the Chinese Academy of Sciences system. This journal will be marginalized in the future.

The open source controversy has basically ended, and it is said that many institutions can be exempt from OA fees, so it basically has no impact. It is advised to continue investing.

Indeed, there has been a turning point in the situation! It is said that many domestic institutions can invest in ND without any fees, which means that open source has no impact at all. Poor institutions may be affected, but essentially it is just making institutions give money to publishers every year!

It's not so easy to cool down. Please refer to Applied Ocean Research.

I know this journal will be discontinued next year. So, I was wondering if the papers published in 2024 and before will still be recognized. They can't just disregard the papers published in the past, right? And if JSV is also going open-source, does it mean that the papers previously published in JSV will no longer be recognized?

I submitted on July 31st, at that time I could choose the non-OA option, on August 1st, I entered WE, but so far there has been no news.

Starting from August 11th, all submissions will be subject to open access, and next year all submissions will be fully open access.

Hello, has this journal become fully open access now? Will authors need to pay article processing charges for future papers?

Hello, I agreed to pay the APC option during the paper submission process. Can I choose not to pay for OA after the paper is accepted? Currently, papers cannot be submitted without selecting the APC option.

I was rejected, they said it wasn't suitable. Clearly, this journal publishes a lot of articles like mine.

Does publishing in OA journals affect the speed of peer review?

After the first reviewer accepted the review on May 10th, there was no news until June 10th. On June 11th, a reminder was sent out and the second reviewer accepted the review the same day. The first reviewer's comments were received on the 15th, and recently on the 25th and 27th, a third and fourth reviewer also accepted the review. Can I ask if we need to wait for all four reviewers to submit their comments before the editor makes a decision? Also, will the reviewers who accepted on the 25th and 27th take at least a month to return their review comments?

Recently it has indeed slowed down, and there are not as many invitations to reviewers as before.

I think this is a dead end that he brought upon himself. In the future, who will still support him?
