The subscription-management screen lets you turn auto-renewal on and off, cancel
the subscription and go to plan change. All actions apply to your own
subscription.
Auto-renewal
The auto-renewal toggle on the dashboard turns recurring charges on or off.
While auto-renewal is on, the subscription renews automatically for the next
period at the charge date.
Cancellation
Cancelling stops auto-renewal, but the instance keeps running until the end
of the paid period. After cancellation the dashboard shows “Auto-renewal off /
assistant runs until the end of the period”.
Recurring charges
On a successful charge the period advances and the failed-attempts counter resets.
On a decline, retries run with backoff; after the attempts are exhausted the
subscription moves to past_due — a payment warning appears on the dashboard.
Plan change
Plans are changed right from the portal: pick the new plan (and, if needed, the
monthly/yearly period) and confirm the change in a modal. The existing
subscription is re-tiered in place — no need to re-order:
on a running instance a background resize starts (the dashboard shows the
“Changing plan” service phase), after which the license is re-issued;
if the instance is still provisioning, the plan changes immediately on the
billing side;
a “same plan and period” request is rejected with a clear error; a canceled
or expired subscription cannot be revived by a plan change — place a new
order instead.

## Auto-renewal
The **auto-renewal** toggle on the dashboard turns recurring charges on or off.
While auto-renewal is on, the subscription renews automatically for the next
period at the charge date.
## Cancellation
Cancelling **stops auto-renewal**, but the instance keeps running **until the end
of the paid period**. After cancellation the dashboard shows "Auto-renewal off /
assistant runs until the end of the period".
## Recurring charges
On a successful charge the period advances and the failed-attempts counter resets.
On a decline, retries run with backoff; after the attempts are exhausted the
subscription moves to `past_due` — a payment warning appears on the dashboard.
## Plan change
Plans are changed right from the portal: pick the new plan (and, if needed, the
monthly/yearly period) and confirm the change in a modal. The existing
subscription is **re-tiered in place** — no need to re-order:
- on a running instance a background resize starts (the dashboard shows the
"Changing plan" service phase), after which the license is re-issued;
- if the instance is still provisioning, the plan changes immediately on the
billing side;
- a "same plan and period" request is rejected with a clear error; a canceled
or expired subscription cannot be revived by a plan change — place a new
order instead.
For plan differences see [Plans](/en/v1.0/portal/plans) and

## Tips
- To pause billing but keep working until the period ends, use cancel rather than
deleting the account.
- The account can be deleted only when there is no active subscription.
