Transparent and Mix Nodes not working for me

Trying to make an object fade away in my scene. I added the mix shader and the transparency shader and connected them properly but when I reduce the alpha to 0 I get a flat black color where the object should be. Bit of a noob so if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Cycled render if that helps.

edit to add i also have the blend mode in settings set to Alpha blend.

Can you share a screenshot of your node setup and material settings? And are you sure you are in Cycles? (those blend modes do not appear in Cycles).

Definitely rendering in cycles

I could reproduce the issue by reducing the number of transparency bounces:

mine is set to 8 currently and this is what it looks like

here is before I lower alpha

and thanks for your time with this
