Good morning everyone, Something weird happened today. In the beginning of February I was receiving per ad 0,025BATs. Starting today Brave is only giving 0,001BATs per ad. Did something happen @steeven , @SaltyBanana? ---

there are major changes happening and one of them is the complete removal of virtual BAT or vBATs up until April. That’s why u wont see anymore ads and the payout system is unavailable. their usual notification here is already gone. if your unverified, connect it on Uphold or Gemini. if your in unsupported region you dont have any option but to connect or lose all those BATs u saved until April. it will be refreshed to zero and your only option is to donate it on brave creators. its really unfortunate on my side since I’m unverified and i cant do anything until April and Brave refreshed it to zero. ---

> [@January Payout still not received & Missing](https://community.brave.app/t/january-payout-still-not-received-missing/467794/5): > > When is vBAT going away? At the earliest, vBAT will go away sometime in April 2023. However, we want to ensure users have time to adjust to this change, so we will share more exact dates soon. With 1.48.x, existing users without a custodial account connected will receive a final vBAT payout for any February earnings in March. Somehow Brave did not do as promised. No January rewards were received. No claim button shown. ---

Same issue here, this is ridiculous… I’have take a look at the sampson page previously suggested, and it says that the ad I am viewing is payed 0.025. ---
