How long does USDT payment take to confirm on PocketWatch?

Typically 1-3 minutes for TRC-20, 5-15 minutes for ERC-20. If pending longer, check the TXID on a block explorer.

What if I sent USDT on the wrong network?

Contact support with your TXID. They may recover funds, but it can take 1-3 business days and a 10 USDT fee.

Can I cancel a pending USDT payment?

No, USDT transactions are irreversible. Wait for support to manually verify or process a refund if needed.

Why does my wallet show 'insufficient balance' when I have USDT?

You may have a different USDT version (e.g., BEP-20). Ensure you hold USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20 as required by PocketWatch.

Is there a minimum USDT payment amount?

Yes, the minimum is 10 USDT for single subscriptions, but annual plans may have different thresholds.

PocketWatch Payment Stuck or Pending — Troubleshooting

Check Wallet and Network

First, confirm your wallet has enough USDT and the correct network (TRC-20 or ERC-20). Open your wallet app and check the balance. If you are low, top up from an exchange. Also verify you selected the same network as PocketWatch expects. Using the wrong network (e.g., sending ERC-20 when TRC-20 is required) will cause the payment to hang.

Confirm Transaction ID

After sending USDT, copy the transaction ID (TXID) from your wallet. Paste it into PocketWatch's payment verification page or share it with support. Without a TXID, PocketWatch cannot confirm your payment. If the TXID shows “pending” on the blockchain, wait for confirmations (usually 1-3 for TRC-20, more for ERC-20).

Contact Support with Details

If 30 minutes have passed and payment is still pending, reach out to PocketWatch support via their Telegram or email. Include: your order number, the exact USDT amount sent (e.g., 49.99 USDT), the network used (TRC-20 or ERC-20), and the TXID. Support can manually verify and release your subscription.

Retry with Lower Fee

High network congestion can delay TRC-20 payments. If your transaction is stuck, try sending a smaller amount first (e.g., 5 USDT) to test the network. Once that confirms, proceed with the full payment. Alternatively, switch to ERC-20 if TRC-20 is congested, but expect higher fees (~1.50 USDT vs ~0.10 USDT).

Troubleshoot Wallet Issues

Some wallets (like Trust Wallet or MetaMask) may not auto-detect USDT. Manually add the token contract address: for TRC-20 use `TR7NHqjeKQxGTCi8q8ZY4pL8otSzgjLj6t`, for ERC-20 use `0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7`. If your wallet shows “insufficient balance” despite holding USDT, you may have a different token version.
