Buying DLC mid subscription

[Starfoth The Burgundy Silk Rug]

I currently have a subscription for HOI4 to play DLC that I do not permanently own
The winter sale is coming up and I want to buy some of that DLC permanently so I dont have to pay for a subscription anymore. Problem is that it doesnt seem to let me buy any DLC until the subscription expires which will be a while after the sale will have ended

Well, yeah, the sub has granted you licenses, albeit temporary ones, to the DLC. So the Store sees that you "own" them and won't let you purchase them. You'll have to wait for the sub to expire, thereby revoking your licenses to the DLC, before the Store will let you buy the individual DLCs.

There will always be future sales. Try to plan your sub accordingly. Of course you can't really predict with 100% certainty if a game will be on sale, but chances are always good for the Summer and Winter sales.

The DLCs will probably also be on sale on sites that sell Steam keys. You can add the keys to your account when your subscription expires. Is There Any Deal https://isthereanydeal.com/search/?q=Hearts+of+Iron+IV can help you find those sites and track the prices.

Also, did you cancel your subscription so it does not automatically renew? Click on your profile name near the top right of the Steam client, select Account details, select Manage subscriptions, click on Edit, select Cancel my subscription, click the Apply button https://store.steampowered.com/account/subscriptions/

Fear not brother,
Here's another like "isthereanydeal" (but far superior):

https://www.allkeyshop.com/blog/en-us/catalogue/search-Hearts+of+Iron+4/sort-price-asc/

This site essentially displays where other sites are selling DLC marked down. (allkeys does not sell directly to my knowledge)

I am not entirely sure how they do it, but at a macro level, sellers in other countries will buy game keys on sale with inflated foreign currency. This allows them to sell slightly above the aforementioned "sale price" (from other countries). I've used this site for almost a decade.
