You upgraded your subscription.
The new plan activated immediately.
But the next charge felt higher than expected.
It looked like the unused time from your old plan was billed again.
This situation usually happens when a plan upgrade is processed mid-cycle.
Upgrading does not always replace the remaining time cleanly.
What’s Actually Happening
- The old plan still had unused days left
- The upgrade triggered a recalculation instead of a replacement
- The system converted remaining time into a partial charge
- The new plan started immediately, not after the old one ended
Why the Charge Looks Confusing
- The bill may combine two periods into one amount
- Credits and charges may appear on the same date
- The description may not clearly mention a proration
- The total looks higher even though part is an adjustment
What to Check Before Assuming an Error
- Look for credits applied to the old plan
- Check the exact start date of the upgraded plan
- Compare billing periods, not just amounts
- Confirm whether the remaining time was converted, not duplicated
When plans are upgraded mid-cycle, overlapping charges are often the result of proration—not double billing.
