Go to your memberships, find the creator, and set a clear monthly limit (or switch to a simple monthly subscription) to ensure you only pay $1 per month, no matter how many posts you see.

No, no. I'm the creator.

I think the person who bought the membership paid for 5 months. I didn't know you could choose how many months to be subscribed when buying XD

Wow, me neither. I left Patreon last year so I wasn't sure how much things had changed. That's new!

Maybe a custom pledge, or someone joined and left, in that case, the stats sometimes retain the number.

I am not sure that the price changes for current members. Could be that he pays the old price.
I know it works the other way around. If you charge 5 bucks, then increase the price to 10 bucks, the old members still pay 5 bucks.

There was an email about changing pricing structures and not allowing anything below, I think $3 USD as a recurring payment/subscription (and I think $2 for one-time things). Only skimmed it (after seeing discussion about it on Substack), and it was several months ago so don't recall specifics. Had something to do with the partners they use for payment processing.
