My first ARIN Experience but probably not the last, unfortunately..

No, I didn't quit reading..

The issue being a newcomer and not fully versed on the levels, I never made
the connection of the /36 to the 2X-Small Category. A simple addition of
adding in a reference to that category would make it a lot more clear..

Something as simple as changing to the below, would have more easily
triggered that connection.

**There is a temporary IPv6 fee waiver for organizations in the 3X-Small
service category. A 3X-Small organization may receive registry services for
up to a /36 of total IPv6 space and remain in the 3X-Small service category
and not be charged at the 2X-Small fee schedule. This waiver will expire 31
December 2026.*
