Why is my Pro Status not Visible?
If your Education Pro status isn't showing up:
Check for payment issues – if you have a past due account, you may not get access to Pro right away.
Make sure your SheerID verification has been approved:
If it's still pending, you'll need to wait until SheerID verifies you.
If you've been rejected, you won't be able to take advantage of Education Pro at this time.
Verify you're logged in with the correct email.
You don't have to use the same email as your Perplexity account to verify with SheerID, so please ensure you remember which account you redeemed Education Pro on in order to be able to log in to the correct account and access your subscription.
Sometimes users redeem their Education Pro subscription on an Apple Relay email – be sure to check for any masking emails you may have signed up with.
