From the page at https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026984152-I-m-locked-out-of-posts-I-should-see:

Important: If you see “Custom pledge” it means that you’re not currently in a tier.

Meaning, if I pledge $10 for someone that has the closest tiers at $5 and $25, I won’t get the reward from the $5 tier. So if I want to get that reward, I either have to pay $25 or $5 now.

I absolutely think that it would make much more sense to give all benefits of the tiers that require the same or lower amount than the custom pledge.

Ah, turns out you can increase the amount you pay for a specific tier.

Then, the question is - why have the “Custom pledge” in the first place that doesn’t give anything that tiers don’t have but also implicitly limits the rewards?

You should bring this to community forum and the community discord.

This forum is for api, api-using apps and integrations and developer related topics.
