why didn't my subscription auto-renew?

[NoFixedAddress]

I tried to make a phone call today and couldn't and I got the message, "your plan didn't renew because we did not receive your payment. To resume your service, make a payment at--"

I've been with PM for over three years and this is the first time this has happened.  My credit card didn't expire, so what gives?

Worse thing is absolutely no warning that I couldn't make a call. Also, I used to get texts when they charged my card--haven't seen one of those in a while

HI @NoFixedAddress 

yes, we saw unusual high number of post about renewal problem in the last 2 days

[NoFixedAddress]

I submitted a ticket as well.  Kind of disconcerting.  Luckily I was home at the time and had other Internet access to renew.  What would have happened if I was stranded somewhere?

If it happens again, I'm going to have to switch.

The EXACT same thing happened to me today and I have also been with Public for years, never with an issue. I have submitted a ticket. will let you know if I find out anything useful.

@NoFixedAddress 

Did you login to your account online or the PM app and check if Subscribed (AutoPay) button is enabled?

If not, enable it for next month payment but you need to make a manual payment to restore service.

Auto pay sometimes fails, @NoFixedAddress 

Your only options are to try making a manual payment with the existing card (ensuring it has not expired or was somehow compromised), change to another payment card such as Visa, MC, or debit Visa or debit MC, or pay with Vouchers available at many retailers.

Those SMS notifications have mostly stopped.
