I've run into a Twitter account (above) that does not display the paid indicator even though it is a paid account. I do see lots of paid accounts so it seems to be working properly otherwise. However, I have no idea how many other accounts this is happening with as I don't check them all.
I thought you might want to see what is preventing this one from being flagged as it may not be the only one.

I'm seeing the same for some accounts that are paid. Here's another Twitter account which appears as Verified rather than Paid: https://twitter.com/SahilBloom
I don't see any difference between this account's verification status message and another that gets labelled "Paid":
It's because their accounts are both
isBlueVerified: true
and
isVerified: true
In other words, they had a real Verified badge before they bought Twitter Blue checkmark.
This chrome extension gives legacy Verified status precedence over blue verified. So this is working as expected. We thought about giving those types of accounts a third status (legacy/blue verified hybrid) but it's technically challenging to do correctly in Twitter Spaces.
Closing as WONTFIX. Maybe we could revisit the "legacy/blue verified hybrid" status (#75) some time in the future as a separate feature though.
