# Unpaid Vercel Pro invoice blocking account upgrade after trial ends

I started a `Pro` trial on January 5, 2026, and after it ended on January 19, 2026, I was automatically charged `$20.00` for a `Pro` subscription that I did not authorize or intend to continue. 

- I did not receive any notification about this payment failure, so I was unable to cancel the invoice within the standard 30-day refund window. 
- I only discovered the outstanding invoice when I recently tried to upgrade my account, at which point I was blocked from proceeding.

Due to this lack of communication about the payment issue and the fact that this unpaid invoice is now preventing me from upgrading my account, I am requesting that this invoice be cancelled immediately. I have been waiting over a week for a response on case `#1060325` without any acknowledgment from the support team.

It’s another AI response.
It just keeps repeating endless requests to create cases.

It would take a human less than 10 minutes to resolve this issue, but I’m stuck in a system where I might not receive a response for a week.

I opened a support case (#1060325) on March 25, but I haven’t received any response yet. How long do I have to wait?

@pawlean  I haven’t received a response to my open support case yet. What else should I do?
