# I've paid — why does Storage Studio still show a payment notice?

Usually because Storage Studio hasn't checked since you paid. While a payment notice is showing, it checks again about every 15 minutes, and straight away when you switch back to the app — so after paying in your browser, coming back to Storage Studio is usually enough. To check right away, choose **Check again** on the notice, **I've paid — check again** on Home, or **Refresh status** in **Settings → License**.

If you only updated your card, the overdue amount may not have been paid yet — the new card is used at the next automatic try. Choose **Fix Payment** to pay it now.

If the notice turned blue and says **Payment processing**, your payment is on its way and just hasn't cleared — see [what Payment processing means](https://storagestudio.us/faq/licensing-payments/what-does-payment-processing-mean). Still stuck after a day? Email support@storagestudio.us.
