Agency Owners unable to Close their Agency

When attempting to close their agency, agency owners would experience an error "Exception occurred Failed to parse ODS response..."

 

Owners could still get their agencies closed by contacting Upwork support team. 

This issue has now been fixed and if you decide to close your agency, you should be able to do it by going to Agency context> Settings> Agency Settings and clicking the Close Agency button:

Hi Upwork!
I have created agency profile by mistake while exploring the agency profile and now I want to close it.
I 'm getting error after clicking on "Close the agency".
I don't have any active candidacy on it.
I'm unable to bid from my freelancer profile because it show that you don't have any available connects but I have 145 connects.
Please check the atttached file for the error.
Please help me in this ASAP.
Thanks
