403 (Forbidden) Error during adding a new payment method

What is the issue you’re encountering

I am trying to add a payment method to my account to pay for the domain names that will expire in a month. I am unable to add a payment method to my account to use Cloudflare services. I have tried AMEX, MasterCard, Visa and Paypal. I get the same error every single time, but I clearly see that there is no Recaptcha displayed.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I have tried to do this with 4 different browsers Arc, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. For all of them I have tried with Incognito mode as well, but nothing helps.
I looked up the network requests and it seems the actual payment method adding function fails with a 401 error.

What is going on? Are you closing down Cloudflare, or just completely don’t care about user payments? My business is literally at risk because I can’t make a payment! WTF??

@ares Still no updates! Please this is getting out of hands! My product might go offline just because I can’t attach my Paypal or CC to Cloudflare’s billing? It has been months already!!

I do not see the har file on that case, can you attach it again?

Done! But I can see the attached file on April 14th on my end!
Let me know if you see it this time.

@cloonan @ares any updates on this?

@cloonan @ares My domain expired! What is the status on this?
Is it possible to pay via Bank Transfer or I don’t know mail a check? I product literally can go offline any minute because of this!
