Developer Pieter Levels (@levelsio) reported that Revolut's eSIM auto-renewal feature is non-functional. When a user selects the auto-renew option during eSIM purchase, the service does not automatically renew under any condition. Specifically, it fails to trigger both when data is running low and when the 30-day validity period expires. The bug may lead to lost revenue for Revolut and disrupts seamless connectivity for users relying on automatic top-ups.

Pieter Levels (levelsio) shared a detailed comparison of hotel stays in America vs. a top European hotel in the Netherlands at the same price. The American hotel provided AC that cooled to 16°C, $100 free spending, a full minibar, daily room cleaning before noon, extensive bathroom amenities including Marvis toothpaste, and moderate WiFi. In contrast, the European hotel limited AC to 23°C, locked windows, had an empty minibar, no water bottles, no daily cleaning without repeated requests, and no amenities, all citing eco reasons. Levels concluded America now offers far more value for money than Europe or Asia.
