Honestly... this isnt the first time this has happened either. Been a paying customer for a long time now, and occasionally I get these upgrade buttons, which I am hoping are just bugs, as otherwise it would be very weird as I cannot upgrade to anything higher than Unlimited.
I remember seeing something on Reddit a while back (well before the API fiasco) that this was a bug. Hopefully that is the case here as well.
How many times can they pretend this is a "bug"? They inject ads into my emails, regardless of whether I'm a paying user. And I can't remove them from my entire account, I have to do it on a device-by-device basis...
These are two separate issues. I can easily imagine that this is a bug, and one with no impact whatsoever, so I can see why it hasn't been addressed with an urgent hotfix. There is no business value in offering an already paying user to upgrade.
These are two separate issues.
No, they're the same issue. Both are annoying solicitations forced on paying users.
I just removed it via UBO
It seems to have removed itself for me by now. ~~While it can be easily removed I'm more concerned about the possible marketing strategies from Proton.~~
What are you concerned about? A new, more expensive plan appearing out of nowhere?
Occam's Razor applies here.
Its not a marketing strategy. Its just a bug. They will fix it eventually.
I don't know Proton, but if you are already in the highest subscriber tier, why the f do you still get ads?
Proton family is one step above unlimited, then there's proton visionary
