Sponsorship Profile Stuck in "Pending" State Despite Approval

Hi everyone,

I'm currently facing an issue with my GitHub Sponsors profile and was hoping to get some insights or advice.

A few days ago, I received an email from GitHub confirming that my sponsorship request was approved. The email stated:

"You're now sponsoring @Mohmoudomarr!"

Sponsorship amount: $XX

Next billing date: December 23, 2024

87

It also encouraged me to share the news on social media, so I assumed everything was set up correctly. However, when I visit my GitHub Sponsors profile, it still shows the status as "Pending approval", and my profile isn't live yet.

I'm unsure if this is a delay in the approval process or a technical issue. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Is there a specific step I might have missed after receiving the approval email?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Best regards,

@Mohmoudomarr

Here are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue:

Check the Approval Email: Review the email confirmation you received for any further instructions or steps that might be required to finalize your profile setup.

GitHub Status Page: Sometimes, there might be ongoing issues with GitHub services. It’s a good idea to check GitHub Status to see if there are any current problems affecting sponsorships.

Contact GitHub Support: If the status doesn't change soon, I recommend reaching out to GitHub Support. They can provide clarity on your profile status and help resolve any technical issues.

Community Feedback: It can also be helpful to monitor this discussion for any other users who may be experiencing the same problem. They might share insights or solutions that can help.

I hope this helps, and good luck getting your profile live!
