I did not had any issue when I converted my postpaid Vodafone plan to prepaid. Only thing they asked me to do was wait for 90 days. Before 90 days from service activation we couldnt convert (and port out as well perhaps).

It is supposed to take 48 hours, provided you've cleared all dues. However, most operators make this process extremely difficult. Some excuses you'll get:
1. Prepaid sims are over. As if this really was a thing.
2. Wait till end of bill cycle. When bill cycle ends, you'll be given reason 1.
3. Your number is a 'special' one that can't be converted.
VF is particularly bad about this. I've had friends try to replace damaged sims only to be told, that the sim would be replaced only if they migrated to postpaid.
Anyway, if you face any of the above, porting out is far more hassle free.

I converted from Airtel pre to Post paid as needed to avail corporate plan
Total downtime was 1 night, Calls started in morning but MyAirtel took one more day to start showing the updated records.
Sales guy at Every operator would try to get you on post-paid, as they get HEFTY commissions when they sell/convert users a post-paid connection.
PORT out threat would work very well as I myself have tried it multiple times.

Who told you to Actually port out,
I suggested requesting a UPC(Unique Porting Code) as after that most operator's Retention Team will call you and offer dicsounts
and very prompt solution to your issue.
you can try to convert to Pre-paid and if local store denies, just come back, request UPC and wait for retention team to call you, once they call,
tell them, you are loyal customer but don't want postpaid, you would retain their only if they convert you to pre-paid.
I am sure you would be converted to pre-paid smoothly.

Did u give a request to change your number from prepaid to post paid?
My Porting history of Vodafone Postpaid Special number (all without any hassle)-
Vodafone Postpaid Corporate > Vodafone Prepaid: possible only after I completed 90 days of Postpaid usage, conversion took 1 night to happen.
Vodafone Prepaid > BSNL Prepaid: Took long time to fill all documents, porting happened in 4-5 days after documents were verified.
BSNL Prepaid > Idea Postpaid Corporate: Porting happened in 1-2 days after documents and address were verified.
May be I was lucky to have good sales person at Vodafone
