can't upgrade You’ve made too many billing attempts. Please try again in 24 hours, or contact suppor

Hi, 

I'm trying to upgrade to dropbox plus. However, each time it says : You’ve made too many billing attempts. Please try again in 24 hours, or contact support at dropbox.com/support.

This was on the first time of applying and I hadn't made any attempts before and I've tried on different browsers. How can I upgrade please?

 

 

  • Problem is now fixed and I was able to upgrade. Hurray! Thank you Dropbox Team.

    Hey joolsbond, sorry to see you're having this issue.

     

    Can you try again both from a different browser and a different network/WiFi connection to see if that helps?

     

    Keep me posted!

      Hello,

      Just an FYI I have a ticket open with the same issue. I've been trying to pay for a business upgrade for multiple days and I get the same error even after a single attempt (multiple cards don't work either).

      The ticket reply I got was not helpful (they told me I'd tried too many times despite not).

      Hi, 

      I've tried again today with Paypal, as well as another card. I don't have the option of using another network. I'm still unable to upgrade. Same message about too many billing attempts even though I'm using different browsers. if someone could call me and take my card number so I can upgrade I would appreciate it. 

      Thanks

    I've emailed support about this but thought i'd put it out here too.

    I've tried to sign up to get 2 tb of dropbox space but when I try, all I get is an error message saying that I've tried to many times and to wait for 24 hours or contact Dropbox support, I've waited 24 hours and actually deleted my account to make a new one but get the exact same message after 2 or more days of trying.

     

    I've contacted my bank and there's no issue with my card at all, I even tried to sign up with the woman on the phone with no luck.

     

    Is there something wrong with the site?

     

    Also; my friend has tried to share a link with me and I've not got an email conferming it.

     

    I'd go to sync but honestly, it's very slow and dropbox is enough for me so i hope this can get resolved.

      I've just tried updating dropbox again with my card and then with paypal with the exact same results.

       

      I hope something is done about this because I like dropbox and don't want to leave it but if I can't update my storage space i'm going to have to.

      I've tried again with no luck, I understand it's a weekend so i'll give the team one week and if this issue isn't fixed, I don't want to do it but i'll have to leave dropbox.

        I've managed to finally contact support about not being able to upgrade my account but i had to go through so many hoops, I think that the phone call option should be availible for everyone as it would be much quicker than emails that don't get answered.

         

        I understand it's the weekend and hope that I get an answer within the week and really don't want to leave dropbox but am a bit frustrated.

    "You’ve made too many billing attempts. Please try again in 24 hours, or contact support at dropbox.com/support. You may want to try alternatives such as PayPal or a different card."

     

    Tried 3 browsers, 2 cards, one debit, one credit & Paypal, tried over 24 hours later, tried on phone app and desktop, still will not take a payment.

    Emailed support and had nothing back in 24 hours, now my dropbox doesnt work at all, as it says its out of space but wont let me buy/pay for anything.

     

    My open support ticket number is 22790060.

     

    If anyone knows a quick solution to this issue it would be much appreciated as live chat is useless and email support is none existent.

  • Hi,

     

    My Plus couldn't auto renew due to card detail change and i missed the emails. The upgrade page was having issues yesterday when  i went to pay but now i am locked out of the upgrade payment process for 24 hours and need to access my files now. I spent an hour trying this morning and another hour on to someone on chat which couldn't help. Is there anyone from technical support that can help?

      Hey ralphpedersen2017, sorry to see you're having issues with your subscription.

       

      Try logging in to your account through a different connection or network to see if that helps.

       

      Keep me posted.

      Sorry to hear that, hugoborjeson.

       

      Is it possible for you to try upgrading, while connected to a different WiFi/router or mobile data, to see if that helps?
