❓ FAQs
❓ FAQs
❓ Why did I receive a cancellation email if my payment went through?
Automated emails can be sent before the billing status finishes syncing, even when a payment is successful.
❓ Is my account at risk of being cancelled?
No. If the payment was processed, your subscription remains active.
❓ Should I update my payment method?
Only if the status does not update after the system finishes syncing.
This behavior is temporary and related to billing synchronization. Your subscription remains active while the system completes the update.
