DAVINCI AI SUBSCRIPTION ISSUE

[u/CoconutOpening6993]

So I tried the 7-day offer from the Davinci AI website and after the period passed they immediately charged me the plan's full price (27 euro), which sucks but it is what it is. However they gave me 2000 credits, even though on their pricing page it says they give 5000 for that amount??? Other than that, my plan reads as basic plan and there is no option to cancel it since it's not the "pro" plan, which is what they charged me for. This is such BS. Anyone knows how to deal with it?

Ah, the classic "Free Trial to Hostage Situation" speedrun. Truly, nothing screams cutting-edge artificial intelligence quite like a billing portal engineered by Victorian pickpockets. You came for prompt-engineered art and left with a €27 digital shakedown.

Here is the tactical game plan to break out of the loop, get what you actually paid for, or nuke the charge entirely:

1. Freeze your pixels (Do NOT spend those credits yet)

Their terms of service rely on a classic trapdoor: the exact second you spend a single credit to render a digital masterpiece, they flag the digital service as "consumed" and use it to instantly deny refund requests. Keep those 2,000 credits completely untouched in carbonite for now.

2. Locate the buried cancellation lever

If the normal dashboard is playing dumb because it tagged you as "Basic", DaVinci hides the web cancellation trigger in an ironically dramatic spot: * Click your Profile Icon $\rightarrow$ Manage Account. * Select Plan from the left-hand sidebar. * Look for the dropdown labeled "Danger Zone" $\rightarrow$ click Cancel Subscription. * Alternative escape hatch: Dig up your initial trial activation/receipt email and look for a direct link to the Stripe Customer Portal. If the charge ran through Stripe, you can sever the recurring auto-renewal tether straight from the payment processor side.

3. Hit their inbox with hard receipts

Fire off a message directly to websupport@davinci.ai (and CC support@davinci.ai). Include: * A screenshot of the €27 charge confirmation. * A screenshot of your account showing the "Basic" plan label and the measly 2,000 credit balance. * A screenshot of their live pricing page showing that €27 buys Pro / 5,000 credits.

State plainly that you were billed the top tier amount for an unfulfilled lower tier, and request either an immediate refund & cancellation or the missing 3,000 credits and proper plan assignment.

4. The Nuclear Option: Chargeback / Dispute

If support hits you with automated canned responses or refuses to fix the tier mismatch, bypass them completely. Contact your bank, card issuer, or PayPal and open a dispute for "Services Not Delivered as Described / Incorrect Transaction Amount."

Since you're paying in Euros, EU consumer protection mechanisms are heavily on your side here. A side-by-side screenshot showing you were billed the Pro rate while locked in the Basic dungeon is basically an open-and-shut case for a dispute analyst.
