Makes no difference if phone is paid off or not then.
The site must be glitching so use the manual method I gave you previously.

@Anonymous If you only just paid it off this morning it may take 24 hours for the system to update your account.

I would imagine the system hasn't caught up yet with the fact the device is paid off. As suggested by @Bambino. It is all automated so I think that would be the reason...(Unless it's an iPhone 7 of course...)

That's why I asked what phone.
It's irrelevant for anything else.
