Non-dismissible upgrade banner after premium trial
Users are frustrated by a large, bright orange banner that appears after downgrading from a premium trial. The banner cannot be dismissed, occupies significant screen real estate, and is perceived as an obnoxious dark pattern that alienates long-term users.

Now there is an obnoxious and large orange banner across my account suggesting I upgrade, it is also present for my team members. How do I get this thing to go away??
it’d be great if Asana could just not do this or put an “X” on the banner so people can remove it themselves.
Instead of thinking “oh yea I should go back to premium” my thought process is now “what competitors are out there that I should look to”.
GIANT OBNOXIOUS BANNER FOR NO REASON. How do I have it removed?
This is absolutely an insulting dark pattern.
I am ready to move off of the platform out of pure frustration
