This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client's development site lost contact with WPML after detecting a new link and could not reconnect to the WPML account. The site was unable to continue without declaring it a copy due to a change in the IP address being recognized as the main link.
Solution:
We identified two separate entries for the client's URL in our system, each with different credit amounts. We merged these entries, consolidating the credits into a single account. This action restored the connection to WPML, allowing the client to see a total of 48,330 credits available. If you're experiencing similar issues with your development site losing contact with WPML or issues related to credit allocation, we recommend checking your account for multiple entries and contacting us for consolidation.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I've assigned 40K credits to my development site hidden link, but it has lost contact with WPML when it 'detected a new link', stating the original IP address was now the main link. I could not continue without answering the questions and declaring it a copy.

Symptoms:
The site has lost contact with WPML and I am unable to reconnect it to my WPML account.

Questions:
How can I reconnect my development site to my WPML account?
What steps should I follow if WPML detects a new link and states the original IP address is now the main link?

Hi there,

I was able to locate 2 separate entries in our system attached to this URL
hidden link

#1 organization which had 42k credits deposited and now has 12,246 available

#2 organization 72k credits deposited 36,084 available

We will need to connect the two so you have your full credits available.

At the moment are you still seeing this warning message from the screenshot or did it go away after you finished telling it that this is a copy environment?

Update: I have connected the 2 organizations so now you should be able to see that you have 48,330 credits available
