Clearly communicate active trial status once a trial started.
Problem
Currently, users active in trials may not be aware on what specific date the trial is scheduled to end or where they can go to upgrade. In order to find this information today, a user must navigate to their namespace or related group settings page, then go to billing to find the end of the trial in a text and the upgrade option.
We previously thought about adding this information to the top right dropdown but decided to not move forward due to the possible user confusion if they have multiple namespaces and/or multiple trials as it could be confusing which namespace the trial status was referencing.
Potential Solution
Explore ways to clarify the display of the trial status for admins/owners and provide them with a CTA that would take them to their group billing page where they could review plans and select to upgrade when they're ready.
- Attach a specific label visible in the group/project list?
- Timely display informative banners/broadcast messages + add the information on the group and related projects?
- Display it on the left side-nav?
