Am already a Proton Unlimited Subscriber, why am I seeing upgrade "ads"....?

Honestly... this isnt the first time this has happened either. Been a paying customer for a long time now, and occasionally I get these upgrade buttons, which I am hoping are just bugs, as otherwise it would be very weird as I cannot upgrade to anything higher than Unlimited.

I remember seeing something on Reddit a while back (well before the API fiasco) that this was a bug. Hopefully that is the case here as well.

  These are two separate issues. I can easily imagine that this is a bug, and one with no impact whatsoever, so I can see why it hasn't been addressed with an urgent hotfix. There is no business value in offering an already paying user to upgrade.
  
  I’ve personally never had this issue (I’ve been a paid user for the last 2 years). Like another commenter said, as annoying as it is, it’s not a super urgent bug. It doesn’t break anything or affect the functionality so it will take longer to get a fix.
I just removed it via UBO
- It seems to have removed itself for me by now. ~~While it can be easily removed I'm more concerned about the possible marketing strategies from Proton.~~
  
  Its not a marketing strategy. Its just a bug. They will fix it eventually.
  
  What are you concerned about? A new, more expensive plan appearing out of nowhere?
  
  Occam's Razor applies here.
I don't know Proton, but if you are already in the highest subscriber tier, why the f do you still get ads?
- Proton family is one step above unlimited, then there's proton visionary
Just add a rule to remove the ##.button-promotion--icon-gradient element in uBlock Origin
- Do you know if you could do something similar with something like Ferdium?
possibly because there's higher tiers such as proton family and proton visionary
