Resolve Billing Issues and Restore Account Access at Time Doctor
Note: Billing and payment recovery features are available on all Time Doctor subscription plans and can be accessed by Company Owners and any Admins granted Billing access.
TL;DR:
If account access is restricted due to billing, go to Settings / Billing / Invoices, locate the invoice marked Failed or Past-Due, and select Retry Payment. Choose an existing payment method or add a new card to complete payment. Monthly subscriptions lock after seven days of late payment; annual subscriptions lock after 14 days. If access remains restricted after payment succeeds, refresh the dashboard, clear the browser cache and cookies, and sign in again. Contact billing@timedoctor.com for unresolved billing disputes.
