Hey @cyberboyayush,

In our public community, we aim to answer open questions about anything SysAdmin, DigitalOcean and beyond. However, we make every attempt to keep personal information safe and so don’t ever access personal account information here. This means we can’t provide help with any account or billing-related issues.

Hi,

Sounds like your account might be flagged by the DigitalOcean automated system.

If you’re seeing errors even after verification, best move is to open a support ticket at https://do.co/support so the team can take a closer look. The GitHub Education offer sometimes needs manual review.
