This is also another thought I had. The sliding expiration on the session cookie might not be set properly.
You account expiration date should not be stored in a cookie. This is doing it completely wrong.
The account information should check each time you log in with the account database to see if the server date has exceeded your allowable viewing time.
THEN you get a cookie saying if you are a subscriber or not to access pages with a token that tells the pages in the session cookie that you are a subscriber or not.
Dates of subscriptions should ONLY be on the secured DDI servers.
I may be mis-thinking about what you are saying expires though... The cookie, or the account itself?
The session cookies, they just aren't doing right at all. Have you looked at one of them! But that is a different issue.

Edit: Here is what the error message looks like:
I hate this, I hate saying this.... I hate when this is what it takes to fix anything....
Have you cleared your cookies for DDI, and are you using wizards.com to get to DDI?
Seems people had a problem with subscribing to ever get access, because the old cookie never changed when they got their subscription, so your cookie may not be updating to say you are a subscriber yet.
It was a flaw with the cookie when they turned on the DDI cookies that may still exist as the system won't kill that old cookie that doesn't expire.
You might have to kill that cookie yourself and reboot your browser and it MIGHT (slim chance) that your new cookie will sync up with the system.
