Customer (Mon 09:12): Hi, I was charged twice for my Team plan on 1 September. Order references are 88213 and 88214. I only have one workspace. Can you fix this?
Agent (Mon 10:40): Sorry about that. I can see the duplicate charge. Could you confirm the last four digits of the card so I can raise the refund?
Customer (Mon 11:02): 4471.
Agent (Mon 11:30): Thanks. I have refunded order 88214 in full (USD 96.00). It should appear on your statement within 5 business days. I have also added a note so it cannot recur next cycle.
