This request for money was both too late (after you've been using the OSS project) and too early (before there was a concrete need). The latter is especially bad because if you haven't had a need yet, why do you think that there will be one in the future?

It might have worked better to treat the OSS project as a "free trial but we pay start paying after 90 days" from the beginning.
