Ask HN: Need to Unlock a DigitalOcean Account?
Hello, I'm getting desperate here. Our DO account was suspended due to non-payment. The bills were going to an old email address for which we no longer control the domain.
As a result we're locked out, we can't update the billing info. We've opened support tickets hours ago but we've received no replies. Is there any escalation path we can take?

How big is your account? $50/mo? $5000? $500,000?
Per my dashboard ...

I'm a lowly hobbyist user at the moment, and rarely expect to get a contact-back before 24 hours (I think the longest I ever personally went was 120 hours because of a holiday weekend)
