Paid Annually for Pro, Attempted to Upgrade to Business, and Was Downgraded to Free

I’m posting here because I have been unable to get in contact with a human support representative, and this issue is now critically affecting my business.

I paid $348 for an annual ManyChat Pro subscription on June 4, 2026. Today, I attempted to upgrade my account from Pro to Business. During that process, instead of being upgraded, my account was suddenly downgraded to the Free plan.

I did not cancel my Pro subscription or request a downgrade. I still have proof of my annual payment, yet I have lost access to the plan I already paid for.

Because my account is now showing as Free, my automated messages are no longer functioning. I rely on these automations for customer communication, lead generation, delivering requested links, and sales. This has brought a critical part of my business to a complete standstill.

To make matters worse, the Business plan is now displaying a significantly higher upgrade price than the amount originally shown before this happened.

I have attempted to contact support and have only been able to communicate with an AI assistant. A ticket has been submitted, but I have not been given any immediate solution or way to reach a human while my paid service remains unavailable.

I urgently need someone from ManyChat to:

  1. Restore my paid annual Pro plan and automations immediately.
  2. Confirm that my $348 annual payment and remaining subscription term are still active.
  3. Explain why attempting to upgrade caused my account to be downgraded to Free.
  4. Correct the Business upgrade pricing and credit my existing annual payment appropriately.

Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know how to reach a human at ManyChat directly? This is actively costing my business leads, customer communication, and sales.
