I am on the free plan. I don't log in often, as I'm a solo developer. It appears that my previous projects were deleted. Is there any way to restore them?

Hi Brian - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

How long has it been since your last login? You should get email notifications warning you that the account will be suspended if you don't log in.

The warning @John Funk mentions is documented here:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/what-is-the-free-jira-cloud-plan/

Also here:

https://support.atlassian.com/security-and-access-policies/docs/track-storage-and-move-data-across-products/#Inactivity-on-Free-cloud-apps

The latter document also indicates data will be permanently deleted after a retention period expires. That period is 60 days for a free subscription.

If your subscription was deactivated more than 60 days ago, your data can't be recovered.
