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

Problem:
You are experiencing an issue where your WPML account and credits are not properly linked to your site, showing conflicting information between WordPress and the WPML account dashboard. Although automatic translation is enabled and credits appear available within WordPress, the WPML dashboard indicates no account or website is linked to the credits being used. Additionally, WPML does not recognize the site as connected despite the plugin registration appearing active.
Solution:
1. Delete the existing site key on WPML.org and re-register the plugin using a newly generated key. This ensures that your credits will not be lost during re-registration.
2. Check for WPML site movement/copy notices and respond as appropriate.
3. Verify that the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) fields match the live domain.
4. Double-check if the correct, new site key is entered under Plugins → Add New Plugin → Commercial tab.
5. Re-log into WPML.org and refresh the account settings.
6. If WPML detects the translation as English to English, resolve this by enabling "Fallback Untranslated Content to Default Language" or duplicate the page into the secondary English language and adjust the content as needed. More details can be found in the documentation: here and here.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Thanks for your patience. I’ve received feedback from our 2nd Tier Support, and the reason you’re seeing this error is that WPML detects the translation as English to English.

You can resolve this by following the method described here
https://wpml.org/errata/how-to-add-english-united-states-as-a-custom-language-to-use-as-default-or-translation-language/#comment-8375515 , which is to enable “Fallback Untranslated Content to Default Language”, or duplicate the page into the secondary English language and adjust the content as needed (translate independently), as explained here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/#duplicating-content
