I activated a 4-month free Adobe Creative Cloud trial through Coursera, but my bank notified me of an attempted $80 charge.

Hello,

I received a 4-month free trial of Adobe Creative Cloud through Coursera and activated it using the provided link.

However, I received a bank notification saying that $80 was attempted to be charged from my card. The payment did not go through because there were insufficient funds at that moment.

Since this is a free trial, I’m confused about why a charge was attempted at all.

Could you please explain why this happened? I logged into my Adobe account and there were still 112 days left on my trial.

Thank you.
