"Upgrades are not possible during that period"

Why is this message displayed and when will it be cleared?

 

"We are in process of subscription renewals and upgrades are not possible during that period. Please come back later."

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi Kevin and others,

 

The error you're getting is shown by design when a freelancer attempts to upgrade their Membership when their billing cycle is about to renew. If you go to your Membership & Connects page under Settings, you'll see the dates of your billing cycle. Note that you won't be able to upgrade your membership plan during the renewal period. Once your billing cycle updates, you will be able to upgrade your membership.

Hi Jannatus,

 

Thank you for your message. The membership upgrade is not allowed when your existing membership is due for renewal. You will need to try again after 24-48 hours of your billing date. You can check your billing cycle here.

 

Thank you.

Hi Jannatus, 
I'll go ahead and look into this and I'll come back here once I have more information regarding your concern. 

ETA: Hi Jannatus, I'm coming back here to let you know that after checking your account it looks like you don't have a billing method on file. Please try adding a billing method to your account before upgrading your membership. Your membership is automatically billed every month, and the system will need a valid billing method on file before you can upgrade your membership. 

A member of the team has also reached out to you to assist you further with this concern.

I am getting same issue while upgrading my freelancer profile.

Hi Brijesh,

 

As you are trying to upgrade your membership on the same date as it's set to expire, you need to wait for the new billing cycle to start and then try again. You can find this date on your "Memberships and Connects" page under User Settings.

Could you please allow more time for your next billing cycle to start? Let us know if you are still unable to upgrade your membership after 24 hours and we'll assist you accordingly.

Hi Ali,

 

I noticed that you are trying to upgrade the membership of your agency on the same date that it is to expire. In cases like this, you need to wait for the new billing cycle to start and then try again.

 

Thank you.

Dear Aleksandar D,

 

Thanks for your message. I've subscribed to Freelancer Plus. I've cleared cache and cookies yesterday. And now I'm not able to see my profile as it was shown previously. I've uploaded an introductory video. But in new interface of my profile, I'm not able to see the video on my profile. Can you please have a look to my profile and tell me if you are able to see the video.

 

My profile URL: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0138e65bee6ad424bc

 

I'll be very thankful to you.
