Cancel and reactivate

Cancelling is two clicks and it doesn’t take anything away from you on the spot: the subscription stays active until the end of the period you’ve already paid for.

  1. Go to Billing.
  2. On the subscription row, hit Cancel.
  3. Read what you’re about to lose, tell us why you’re cancelling and confirm with Confirm cancellation. Changed your mind? Keep subscription.

Picking a reason is required, but one of the options is I’d rather not say: if you don’t feel like explaining, tick that and cancel all the same. The comment box below is always optional. We do read it, and it’s what tells us what to fix.

You’ll see the Subscription will cancel at the end of the period notice. The confirmation window also lists, by name and with links, the keys and the Cloud OBS on that subscription, so you don’t cancel the wrong one.

Until the end of the current period. In the Subscriptions table, the Next billing column switches to Will not renew and the row shows Cancels on date. That day is your last day of service; until then everything works the same.

Until that date arrives, the button on the row is no longer Cancel but Reactivate. Hit it and you’ll see Subscription reactivated: it goes back to renewing normally and you lose nothing — not keys, not the server, not scenes.

Resource What happens to it
Stream keys They go to No subscription and stop accepting signal. If you’re streaming at that moment, the stream cuts out
Cloud OBS It goes Suspended: it isn’t deleted, it’s kept with its scenes, its settings and its assets
Failover channel It goes Suspended and stops broadcasting to your destination
Your account You still get into the dashboard: you can see Billing, your invoices and the plans

Subscribe again from BillingGet new product. Two things worth knowing:

  • Your Cloud OBS comes back. If you subscribe to the same plan, we reuse your suspended server exactly as you left it, instead of giving you an empty one.
  • Your key doesn’t. The previous key is revoked for good. The new subscription creates a new key, so you’ll have to copy the publish URL into your encoder again.
