If there isn't a quota, then it could mean that your team is in a locked state. You'll need to follow these steps to leave the team, and then you should return to a Basic plan, allowing you to upgrade to an Essentials plan.

Hi DrRegalX5, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you confirm what plan and quota you're seeing on this page your account?
This will help me to assist further!

The page shows plans for Plus, Essentials, Business, and Business Plus. It should Essentials for $19.99 per month, and that is the plan that I was trying to purchase.

I think Jay is referring to the current plan that you're on, as displayed on the page he linked to. Not the plan you're trying to upgrade to.
For instance, does the page say you're on a Basic plan, or does it perhaps say you're on some other type of plan, such as Business, where you wouldn't be able to upgrade your account? Provide a screenshot if you can, being sure to mask any private information.
