In some cases, we may place a temporary restriction on your account shortly before the account’s associated credit card expires. We do this to ensure an active, valid billing method is on file to satisfy Upwork Hourly Protection terms. We’ll notify you by email if this happens.
You can lift the restriction by updating your card details, adding a new billing method, or by setting a different billing method as your primary billing method.
