So I went into Settings and clicked \"Delete Family Account,\" thinking that would unlock the Individual downgrade option. Instead it deleted my entire account, vault data and all.\n\nObviously not what I wanted, I just wanted to change plan types, not delete my whole account.\n\nI already emailed 1Password support yesterday explaining the situation and asking if my data is recoverable. Support ID is 802165.\n\nIf any mods or 1Password staff see this, I'd really appreciate a hand getting this escalated. Just trying to get my account and vault back, and understand what my time window is before the data's gone for good.\n\nThanks in advance to anyone who can help.\n\nUPDATE:\n\nThanks for mod/1PasswordCS-Blake for escalating quick and Tommy from 1password team for prompt response, my account and items/passwords/vaults recovered successfully. Many thanks",
