Here's some additional info....
Follow this method when making a manual payment/adding a card to the account....only use the emboldened portion of the instructions if the payment card is already on file.
Once you successfully update your card do not attempt your payment immediately. Log out/in then go to make a payment to pay for your renewal. Otherwise if you were not suspended I would recommend a $1 test payment. Follow my further instructions for a successful payment to unsuspend your account.
Do not try more than two attempts at adding a card or payments ( successful or not) or you will continue to get this message. Wait at least 1 hour to try a third time another hour for your 5th try....and so on....and do not make more than 4 unsuccessful tries with the same card in a 24 hour period or you will trigger a fraud alert lock out requiring assistance from the moderators.
Go to make a payment. Choose the "other amount" option and add $1 more than the amount owing and submit the payment. If that is successful go back to your overview page and if it does not say active click on the reactivate button. If that works log out and reboot. If that does not work and your payment is in your balance rather than showing $1 then go to the usage or plans page. Click on lost/stolen and suspend your service. Log out/in. Resume your service. Your balance should now be $1. Log out and reboot

If you already have an active credit card (not expired or cancelled) registered to your account you should be able to make a payment by calling 611, to get your services working again. Reboot your phone after payment is made.
IF this is the case, sounds like a failed Autopay. I would like the Moderators know about this.

Try waiting an hour. Use a different browser and incognito mode. Also try clearing your cache and cookies then reboot.
Accepted credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) and Visa Debit cards that have been issued by Canadian or American financial institutions and are associated with addresses in Canada or the U.S. If you are using a payment card, leave the apartment/suite number in the payment information section blank.

@jelmq : Get your service going sooner by buying a voucher online and then using 611 to redeem it.
Then figure out the payment card. It's likely locked out now thinking of fraud.

@jelmq If there is a glitch in the system accepting a new card you will need a moderator's help to enter it. In the meantime you could buy a voucher and add it online or through 611.
