"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."

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.

Edited to correct information. 

 

I would like to clarify that this is by design, downgrading membership is not possible during the renewal of the billing cycle. Could you please try to downgrade your membership plan again in 48 hours? If the issue persists let us know and we will be happy to assist you further.

Hi there,

I have the same issue, as explained above. Trying to renew membership and getting error message: "We are in process of subscription renewals and upgrades are not possible during that period. Please come back later". 

Please also note, that I have tried to clear cash & cookies & also to renew membership through other browsers, but unfortunately faced the same issue. 

 

Please help me with this

Hi Gevorg,

 

It looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.

 

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply, Arjay. After updating the payment method, it is still showing me some error.

Hi Deep,

 

Thank you for your response. Upon checking, I saw that your current billing cycle is May 3, 2022 — Jun 2, 2022. Please note that error message "We are in process of subscription renewals and upgrades are not possible during that period. Please come back later" is shown when you try to upgrade or downgrade your membership plan when the automatic plan renewal is in process. Please wait within 48 hours, after that you may try to upgrade your membership to plus.

 

You may check this details by going to Agency profile> Settings> Membership & Connects> scroll down to Current billing cycle section.

 

If you encounter same error after May 5th, please reach out to us and we'll assist you further.
