Incorrect message from lichess after making lifetime contribution?

I just did a lifetime contribution to make up for all the months I’ve played and missed making a contribution. After the transition completed I got the following:
———————————————
Thank you for helping us build Lichess. You rock!

Your transaction has been completed, and a receipt for your donation has been emailed to you.

You are now a Lichess Patron for one month!
Check out your profile page.

In one month, you will not be charged again, and your Lichess account will be downgraded to free.

To get a permanent Patron account, please consider making a monthly donation.

Success! Return to Lichess homepage.

First problem: I made a lifetime contribution. It says in one month my account will be downgraded to free. But my donation was lifetime! Will it be downgraded?

Second problem: it says I have to make monthly donations to get a permanent patron account. I thought that was what one got with a lifetime contribution. Who is right?

Is this message correct or just a bug in not displaying the correct message?

I had initially wanted to do a monthly contribution but PayPal did not give me the option to do so. Instead it wanted to either debit my bank account or have me sign up for a credit card. So I canceled and did the lifetime contribution which allowed me to pay via my PayPal balance
