Honestly… this isnt the first time this has happened either. Been a paying customer for a long time now, and occasionally I get these upgrade buttons, which I am hoping are just bugs, as otherwise it would be very weird as I cannot upgrade to anything higher than Unlimited.
I remember seeing something on Reddit a while back (well before the API fiasco) that this was a bug. Hopefully that is the case here as well.
How many times can they pretend this is a “bug”? They inject ads into my emails, regardless of whether I’m a paying user. And I can’t remove them from my entire account, I have to do it on a device-by-device basis…
These are two separate issues. I can easily imagine that this is a bug, and one with no impact whatsoever, so I can see why it hasn’t been addressed with an urgent hotfix. There is no business value in offering an already paying user to upgrade.
No, they’re the same issue. Both are annoying solicitations forced on paying users.

Self-hosting on it’s own is ridiculously complicated enough. Self-hosting email is something even seasoned users don’t recommend. Despite being an open protocol, many businesses will refuse to work with you, and big players in the email hosting biz send you straight to the spam folder if you use a server they don’t recognize. Even with Proton, this happens with regularity. Businesses tell me I need to use Gmail or go fuck myself and they don’t want my money.

It’s not and you know it isn’t.
Are you a troll? Why would he lie about this? I’ve been on both sides of this, I self-hosted my email for over a decade, then just this year made the switch to proton. This guy isn’t lying, if you set up your DNS, DMARC, SPF, etc, properly, you don’t get the issues you’re describing unless the receiver has misconfigured or over-protected their inboxes. And surely you’re not thick enough to think the same line of code on Proton’s side is responsible for sending an upgrade link in the web-app, and in an email. That means it’s a separate issue, a different bug, if you could even call it that.
Its seems like you’re just angry and feel like yelling at anyone else that doesn’t coddle you and your particular perspective. They’re trying to share their knowledge with you and you’re getting angry at them for that. Aim your anger at those who actually deserve it.
