Thread summary
A user reported being unable to update their payment method for a monthly Creative Cloud subscription. When attempting to update payment details either from within Photoshop or from the Adobe account page, a popup window appeared completely blank/white and could not be interacted with, and an error message eventually appeared. Other users in the thread reported the same issue, describing a "500 Internal Server Error" when accessing the billing system, affecting multiple people across different browsers, devices, and networks. The issue was later confirmed as resolved by one of the affected users.

- ShivangiGupta / gupta shivangi (Community Manager) suggested trying a different internet connection (such as a mobile hotspot) and checking whether firewall or antivirus software was enabled, recommending it be temporarily disabled before retrying..
Suggested solutions by Adobe
-
If you're unable to update your payment method, first try a different browser, since browser compatibility issues are one of the most common causes of this problem.
Can't update your payment method on Adobe account
-
Avoid trying to update your payment information on your exact renewal or billing date, as subscription and payment details can't be changed on that day — try again either before or after it.
Can't update your payment method on Adobe account
-
If your payment has been failing or pending, use the retry payment flow in your Adobe account to update your details and restore your subscription.
Retry a failed or missed payment
-
If the payment page continues to fail across multiple browsers and devices, try again after some time has passed, as this type of issue can be temporary and resolve on its own, as it did for another user in this thread.
