Dodo Payments is winding down developer accounts with no reason given, even at $2.5k MRR

Payment processor Dodo Payments is abruptly winding down developer accounts without explanation. Quoted developer harshil1712 woke up to an account-closure email with no reasons given, despite his app having plenty of sign-ups.
Vaibhvjat's case is more striking: $2.5k MRR, zero refunds, disputes or chargebacks — yet he also received a 30-day wind-down notice (screenshot shows service ending December 13, 2026). He's offering KYC documents or any changes needed to stay on. Both developers are publicly asking the Dodo team to at least state a reason.
For indie developers relying on third-party payment processors, it's a real-world platform-risk case: even clean, good-standing accounts can get swept out.
