    Review from a verified AWS customer

    When I tried to use the Pinecone standard plan connected with AWS Marketplace, the setup process looped between Pinecone and AWS Marketplace. I am unable to start a standard plan. It still showing current plan as starter eventhough the pinecone documents says AWS Marketplace don't support it.
    Apart from the chatbot, there is no help from the pinecone side. There has been no response to my sales query also.
