Github Sponsor Payout never issues (first-time new user of Github Sponsor)

Bug

Body

I got a one-time sponsorship on 2023-08-17 and a monthly sponsorship starting from 2023-02. But the payment is stuck:

In Github Sponsor dashboard it says:

ESTIMATED NEXT PAYOUT [month] 22

and whenever that day comes, it becomes same day of the next month:

ESTIMATED NEXT PAYOUT [next month] 22

In Stripe page it says:

Payout expected on 22 [month]

and whenever that day comes, it becomes same day of the next month:

Payout expected on 22 [next month]

---

Is there a place in Github Sponsor dashboard or Stripe page that tells me why it never issues payout, and what actions should I take to fix this?

Hi @jhcarl0814,

We appreciate you reaching out about the issue of not receiving your monthly payouts. I have contacted Stripe on your behalf. The payment is in transit and due to arrive in your bank account on November 8th.

Thank you,
GitHub Sponsors

Hello there @DHayes10, this same issue happened to me just now. I saw on my Stripe Dashboard that a payout has been completed, but, I didn't get the payout in my local account at all. It's really weird. Is there a way you can help with this?

[devnshankar]

Unable to do a payout even after someone sponsors me shows zero balance

Have you solved the issue @devnshankar ?

[devnshankar]

No @rashidpathiyil That first sponsorship i got has been either taken by github or not registered as a valid sponsor. because the person that sponsored me got the sponsorship badge and i also got a mail that i received the sponsorship but no money is available in both github account and the payment gateway i had linked with it.

Issue is still unresolved

[mrwtheboss]

I have exactly the same issue
