I have autopay setup to pay yesterday, but this morning I logged into self serve and found that autopay did not function and my account is now suspended, there was no record of autopay paying for me (no pending charges on my credit card).
I went ahead and paid the amount manually and confirmed that my credit card was charged, but self serve still said my account is suspended.
Any help/ideas?
Edit: And self serve isn't even loading now.

....Don't worry , just let it be, next morning you will see everything is OK again.

Yes - this is a stupid behaviour in the self service portal that catches countless people (seriously, search the number of "account suspended" threads created in the forums) that has been known for ages, yet remains unfixed. No need to top up your account if you still have service, this is just a display issue.

This is a well known issue, the account status goes through various phases during the renewal process, none of which is informative. If auto pay is established, don't go into the account during renewal time, just let the process do its thing. Getting in the way of auto pay in mid stride is guaranteed to cause actual service disruption.

I have the same issue. Even though I see in big red letters "Your account has been suspended" I see under payment that my autopay went thru and my account balance is zero.
I have to say, though, that Public Mobile really should fix this as it causes unecessary confusion and probably overpayment.
My service has not been interrupted either. I can make calls, send text, transfer data without issue.

Cant remember who it was but the easiest solution is forget about your account the day before and day of your autopay, browse any aspect of the internet but self serve, it will keep you sane. the only time you have an issue that will need to be adressed is when you have no service / plan says expired

Calls seems to go through fine, data works. Guess I will wait a few hours and see if my account returns to normal.
Is the "Account Status: Plan Expired" also linked to this? Wouldn't want to lose my plan because of autopay not auto paying.

Do you still have cell service? if you do then your account isn't actually suspended. The self-serve always shows "suspended account" on or very close to the payment date
