Honestly… this isnt the first time this has happened either. Been a paying customer for a long time now, and occasionally I get these upgrade buttons, which I am hoping are just bugs, as otherwise it would be very weird as I cannot upgrade to anything higher than Unlimited.

    I remember seeing something on Reddit a while back (well before the API fiasco) that this was a bug. Hopefully that is the case here as well.

        These are two separate issues. I can easily imagine that this is a bug, and one with no impact whatsoever, so I can see why it hasn’t been addressed with an urgent hotfix. There is no business value in offering an already paying user to upgrade.

        I’ve personally never had this issue (I’ve been a paid user for the last 2 years). Like another commenter said, as annoying as it is, it’s not a super urgent bug. It doesn’t break anything or affect the functionality so it will take longer to get a fix.

      It seems to have removed itself for me by now. While it can be easily removed I’m more concerned about the possible marketing strategies from Proton.

        What are you concerned about? A new, more expensive plan appearing out of nowhere?

        Occam’s Razor applies here.

    I don’t know Proton, but if you are already in the highest subscriber tier, why the f do you still get ads?
