[URGENT] Unable to Upgrade to PRO and credit limit reached within 15 minutes of work

Hi @mengyuanwu1
I can see why that’d be frustrating especially if it’s been stuck for a few days.
Upgrading from Plus - Pro usually goes through right away, so this feels more like something in the checkout flow getting hung up rather than an issue with the card itself.
A couple things that are worth trying:
* Opening the upgrade page in an incognito window or a different browser (sessions can get stuck sometimes)
* Turning off any VPNs or privacy extensions during checkout
If it’s still not going through, could you share what you’re seeing when you try? Like an error message, a spinner that never finishes, or just nothing happening?
Also curious, has anyone else run into this recently, or does it seem isolated to your setup?
