Great, thanks for your help! I did get a response right now but not what I expected to hear. They told me that it was automatically deleted after the team was in a locked state for over 90 days which doesn't make sense. I just activated that trial on 8/20/2024! I thought I was being diligent by cancelling it before the trail end. I just tried forwarding the email with the welcome to the trial to show it was brand new and not ever in a "locked" state.
