Inactive accounts with payment declined
Added 2025-09-22 08:48:09 +0000 UTCDear Patrons,
I hope this message finds you well.
Recently, some of you may have received an email notifying you that your account has been blocked. I would like to clarify that all premium accounts which have been in a "payment declined" status for over six months have been terminated.
Please know that this action is not personal, and you have not done anything wrong. I sincerely wish that Patreon had a more streamlined approach for such situations, such as automatically downgrading the membership to a free account when a payment is declined. Unfortunately, this is not currently the case.
Since membership slots are limited, users who did not cancel their memberships were effectively blocking access to these slots for new members who wish to join at a lower price. In fairness to these new users, I’ve taken the necessary steps to free up these spots.
Please note that this action does not affect accounts that have manually downgraded or canceled their memberships.
As a result, several "Early Patron" slots have been made available, allowing new users to upgrade at a lower price.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
