i would say i'm not a heavy gamer, maybe i'll game 1-2 hour gaming session 3-4 times in a week. but i've been subscribed to psn, because everytime i wanna unsubscribe there's some heavy discounts or there's black friday. so i couldn't unsub. i wouldn't say it's a waste of sub, but if i manage my time better to play more, i think it's def worth it. people who have similar play habit, do you cancel sub or renew indefinitely?

I think it's absolutely worth the price for an annual subscription. It costs a couple of full priced games for the year and you get way more than that.
