Developer Trial Account or Standard Trial Account - which do I have?

Last week my Developer/Trial account suddenly closed.  While this account was unpaid, it had an actively used Application, connected to a paid Constant Contact account.  I created the account in Sept 2022 and usually only logged in when receiving a "Your account will be inaccessible in 30 days" notification.  I may have missed one of these notifications this time and the account closed :frown:

 

A few days ago, I created a new Developer account, re-created the Application, and re-connected it to the paid Constant Contact account.  All is good now, however while checking into how to avoid my account from closing again in the future, I see this helpful message from Courtney... "Trial accounts created through the developer portal do not expire, whereas standard trial accounts created through the main site expire after 60 days if not converted to a paid account."

 

My previous account was most likely a standard trial account.  I cannot tell if the new account I created is a Developer Trial Account or Standard Trial Account.  I *think* I created it from https://developer.constantcontact.com/ but am not 100% certain as I was clicking around and didn't realize the difference until now.  Does anyone know or could someone from Constant Contact check to see which type of Trial account I have -- Developer or Standard?  I'm hoping it's a Developer Trial Account and the account won't close again on it's own.  One thing that seems to look different than before is it reports "You have 0 days left in your trial" despite just opening the account 5 days ago.  I'm hopeful this means it's a Developer Trial Account.

 

Many thanks,

Ben
