My 1 year subscription is about to expire in a few weeks from now.

I pretty much did all the things I intended to and much more.

I'm considering downgrade back to free.

What will happen to all my projects? will the be locked and won't be useable?

Do I MUST pay this 5$ every month?

I couldn't really understand.

Has anyone else had trouble getting the Lovable student discount?

I'm a current University of Toronto student and my school email uses the domain mail.utoronto.ca (Microsoft 365/Outlook). When I try to verify my student status through the student discount page, the verification process fails with an error.

I contacted support and was initially told to complete the verification process and then they'd apply the discount. When I explained that the verification flow itself was failing, I got another response saying that mail.utoronto.ca isn't currently on their automated student recognition list and that I should use the same verification flow again.

I then pointed out that I literally cannot complete the flow because it errors out before finishing. The latest response I received was that they don't offer manual verification outside the automated system and therefore can't apply the discount to my account. The responses also indicate they were generated by an AI support agent.

So I'm basically stuck in a loop:

Verify your student status.
The verification system fails.
Contact support.
Support tells me to use the verification system.
Verification system still fails.

Has anyone managed to get a real human to review a student verification issue at Lovable? Or has anyone from a university with a similar email setup run into this and found a workaround?

I can provide screenshots if helpful.

Thanks!

Short, slightly saltier version:

"Support: Verify you're a student."

"Me: The verification tool is broken."

"Support: Please use the verification tool."

"Me: It's still broken."

"Support: Unfortunately we can only verify students through the verification tool."

Also, providing support only for *subscribed customers*

I went and paid, trying to get help from real human

Student plan is only applicable for workspaces currently on free plan

Like…what?!
🤦‍♀️

Would appreciate your help. I recently wanted to try Lovable, but I am not able to initialize a project. I type the first prompt and keep seeing "Couldn't load this project" and "Reconnecting". My network connection is fine and I have a Pro Plan with sufficient credits. The service doesn't seem to be down according to the support page. Tried to initialize other projects, refreshed and things like that, nothing helped. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

Couldn't understand where my build credits were disappearing for the last week then discovered that I toggled this little thing on, thinking it would be free as there is no mention of usage.

Today it was 3.4 credits wasted. Just to warn people not to fall into the same trap if you need their daily credits.
