**Akismet: It is not possible to purchase the upgrade**
The upgrade flow returns an error, whether it’s an upgrade from the dashboard or from My Jetpack.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the Akismet upgrade flow from both wp-admin and My Jetpack, then trace where each path returns the error. Review the linked hack-week task and comment discussion for context. Done means an upgrade can be purchased successfully from both entry points.
