Owning multiple Private Servers that are unable to be opened

On the Roblox website and app, for some reason I have 2 private servers on the game Decaying Winter, and I’m unable to enable either of them to play in. I do not have a ton of information as to why I am unable to open the private servers, but when trying to enable joining or renewing the server, I get a pop-up that reads “Unable to change private server subscription status.”.

The creation of the second private server happened after disabling the first private server. I had to restart the first/original private server to kick someone out of it who was AFK, and after doing so it would not allow me to re-enable the server no matter what I tried. I noticed that on the website I had the option to create a second private server, which I decided to do, given the one that I had wasn’t working.

For a few days, my second private server was working, but after a few days, it had stopped. The free subscription for said private server had cancelled for some reason, and I am unable to renew it. When I do try to renew, I get the aforementioned “Unable to change private server status” message. I am led to believe it may have stopped working because my Roblox plus had expired, as the server cancelled at the same time.

Beyond this, I am unsure of what is really happening, what EXACTLY caused this, and what to do about it. No matter what I try, I cannot get rid of either server or open them up to be played in.

What this looks like on the website server list.

The first private server’s config and the message when I attempt to enable the server.

Expected behavior

I believe I should be able to open either private server to play in. I’m very sad I cannot use said servers, given I play with my friends a lot, and we usually use my private server. I should also probably only have one private server, and it’s UI of my original server’s config should be up to date.

I know Roblox had plans to limit the private server limit to 1 per game but I have no idea if they have actually added this yet. I believe this is intentional behaviour though.

This appears to be unrelated to the upcoming private server limit for Plus subscribers.

This is an existing limitation where non-Plus subscribers can only create a limited number of free private servers platform wide.

@aidenlovescola in your case, it looks like you previously had many free private servers but it was ignored since you were a Plus subscriber. Once you lost your Plus subscription, you need to disable some of your other free private servers in other games.

By “free private server”, I am referring to those which are set to free by the developer for all users, not those which became free because you had a Plus subscription.

ohhhhhhhh oops, i forgot about that limitation

if i may ask, is having two private servers for one game normal?
