# How Billing Works

When you purchase a subscription, a billing cycle begins immediately.

Your subscription automatically renews on the same day every billing cycle unless cancelled beforehand.

## Example

| Purchase Date | Next Renewal |
| ------------- | ------------ |
| January 12    | February 12  |
| February 12   | March 12     |
| March 12      | April 12     |

<Info>
  Your billing cycle is based on the date you first subscribed, not the beginning of the month.
</Info>

***

# Auto Renewal

Runable subscriptions renew automatically.

This ensures uninterrupted access to:

* Monthly Credits
* Website hosting
* Published projects
* AI models
* Premium features

If your payment is successful, a new billing cycle begins immediately.

***

# What Happens When My Subscription Renews?

When your subscription renews:

* Your Monthly Credits refresh.
* Your new billing cycle begins.
* Your subscription remains active without interruption.

Your unused Monthly Credits from the previous billing cycle expire and are replaced by the new month's allocation.

***

# Cancelling Your Subscription

You can cancel your subscription at any time.

Navigate to:

```text theme={null}
Settings
→ Account
→ Manage Plan
→ Manage
→ Cancel Subscription
```

Once cancelled:

* Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing cycle.
* You won't be charged again after the current period ends.
* No future automatic renewals will occur.

<Info>
  Cancelling your subscription does not immediately end your current subscription period.
</Info>

***

# What Happens After Cancellation?

Once your current billing cycle ends:

* Your subscription becomes inactive.
* Monthly Credits expire.
* Premium features become unavailable.
* Published websites are no longer hosted.
* AI generation requires an active subscription.

Lifetime Credits remain in your account but require an active subscription to use.

# Subscription vs Top-Up Credits

These are different purchases.

| Subscription             | Lifetime Credit Top-Up   |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------ |
| Monthly payment          | One-time purchase        |
| Auto renews              | Never renews             |
| Includes Monthly Credits | Adds Lifetime Credits    |
| Required for hosting     | Does not include hosting |
| Required for AI access   | Additional credits only  |

# Upgrading Your Subscription

You can upgrade your subscription at any time.

Depending on where you are in your billing cycle, the upgrade may be charged on a prorated basis for the remainder of the current cycle.

Once upgraded:

* Your subscription changes immediately.
* Future renewals occur at the upgraded plan price.
* You'll receive the benefits of the upgraded plan.

***

# Downgrading Your Subscription

You may also downgrade to a lower plan.

Your downgraded plan takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

Until then:

* Your current subscription remains active.
* Your current plan benefits remain available.

***

# Past Due Accounts

If a subscription renewal payment cannot be completed, your account may enter a **Past Due** state.

While your account is Past Due:

* Access to subscription features may be limited.
* Published websites may become unavailable.
* AI generation may be restricted.

To restore access, you'll need to resolve the outstanding payment.
