Payment failed while upgrading to $10 plan, and now my $5 membership isn’t working in the AnkiHub add-on

Hi,

I tried upgrading my AnkiHub account from the $5 membership to the $10 plan, but the payment failed during the upgrade process. Since then, my original $5 membership no longer seems to be working with the AnkiHub add-on.

Before this, my $5 membership was working normally. Now the add-on is not recognizing my membership / I can’t access AnkiHub properly.

Could someone please check what happened with my account and help restore my existing membership access if the upgrade didn’t go through?

Thanks.

Edit :. already deleted the add on and installed it again and logged in again.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, that’s really helpful.

Since I don’t have access to your billing/account backend from here, I can’t directly check or fix your subscription, but here’s what you should do to get this resolved quickly:


1. Basic checks on your side

Please double‑check these first:

  1. Log out and back in

    • In the AnkiHub add-on, log out of your account and log back in using the same email you use on the AnkiHub website.
    • Sometimes the add-on doesn’t refresh the subscription status until you re‑authenticate.
  2. Confirm your current plan on the AnkiHub website

    • Visit: https://ankihub.net
    • Go to your Account / Subscription / Billing page.
    • Check:
      • What plan is shown ($5, $10, or none)
      • Whether there is any “Payment failed” or “Past due” notice
  3. Check your email & bank/PayPal

    • Look for:
      • A successful charge for the $10 plan
      • Any failed payment / declined card emails
    • This will tell support whether the upgrade partially went through or failed entirely.

2. What likely happened

In situations like this, typically one of these occurred:

  • The upgrade payment failed, and the system may have:
    • Cancelled the old $5 plan but not fully activated the $10 plan, leaving your account with no active plan.
  • Or the plan is actually active on the website, but the Anki add-on hasn’t refreshed and still thinks you’re not subscribed.

Either way, support will need to look at your specific account.


3. How to get this fixed by support

Since this is a billing/account issue, it needs manual review by the AnkiHub team.

On this topic, please reply (or you can edit your original post) with:

  • The email address associated with your AnkiHub account (you can obfuscate slightly for privacy, e.g. saad***@gmail.com, but make sure staff can identify it), or say “It’s the same email as my forum account.”
  • Approximately when you tried to upgrade (date + time + timezone).
  • The payment method you used (e.g. Visa card, MasterCard, PayPal – no full numbers, just type).

Then, tag AnkiHub staff using:

@AnkiHubSupport

and mention clearly:

  • That the $10 upgrade payment failed
  • That your previous $5 membership stopped working in the add-on
  • Whether the website currently shows:
    • No active plan, or
    • An active plan that the add-on isn’t recognizing

Example message you can add:

I’ve logged out and back into the AnkiHub add-on and checked my subscription page. Right now, my account shows: [describe what you see]. Could you please check my billing and either:

  • restore my previous $5 membership, or
  • correctly apply the $10 upgrade if payment went through?

4. Until support fixes it

If the website shows no active plan and the add-on still doesn’t work after re-login, you’ll unfortunately have limited access until staff adjusts things. Avoid retrying multiple payments in a row to prevent duplicate charges; wait for support to confirm the status first.


If you’d like, you can paste here (or in the topic) what your Subscription/Billing page currently shows (without any sensitive info), and I can help you phrase exactly what to send to support.

It’s the same email as my forum account: saadrehman21****@gmail.com

I tried to upgrade on 6/25/2026 .

Payment method used: mastercard

For context, the payment attempt for the $10 plan failed, and since then my existing $5 membership has stopped working with the AnkiHub add-on. @AnkiHubSupport

Hi there,

I checked with our payment processor and it appears your payment did go through (the last one), and your account is now active.

Can you try syncing and see if its working now?

yes i tried again it worked thank you
