Paid — But Content Still Locked? Here’s Why Access Isn’t Activated

You completed the payment successfully. The charge went through, and your subscription status shows active.

But when you try to watch content, open features, or access premium material — everything is still locked.

This usually happens when billing confirmation and content access permissions are not fully synchronized.


Why Content Access Can Stay Restricted After Payment

  • Payment authorization completed but access activation is delayed
  • Subscription linked to a different account login
  • Platform requires re-authentication after billing updates
  • Regional or licensing restrictions block specific content
  • Content servers sync slower than billing systems

How to Check If Your Access Should Be Active

  • Verify subscription status in account billing settings
  • Confirm you’re logged into the purchasing account
  • Check if premium content is region-restricted
  • Review purchase confirmation timestamps

How to Unlock Content Access

  • Log out and log back into your account
  • Restore purchases if the option exists
  • Clear app or browser cache data
  • Wait for billing synchronization (can take several hours)
  • Contact support if access remains locked

In most cases, locked content after payment is caused by access synchronization delays — not failed transactions.
