### What happens to my billing when I upgrade?

When you upgrade, the change takes effect **right away** — you don't have to wait for your current billing cycle to end.

You're refunded the unused portion of your current plan, and a new billing cycle begins with your new plan.

**Example:** You're on a €50 plan that started January 1st, and you upgrade to a €250 plan on January 15th.

* You get a refund of the unused time on the €50 plan — about €25.
* Your new billing cycle for the €250 plan runs from January 15th to February 15th.

You only pay for what you use — the upgrade is smooth and automatic.

### What happens if I cancel mid-month?

You can cancel anytime — **you won't lose access right away**. You've already paid for the full billing cycle, so you keep all your credits and features until the end of that cycle.

**Example:** your plan renews on the 3rd of each month and you cancel on the 18th — your subscription stays active until the 3rd of the next month.

## Pause your account

There's no actual "pause" button on lobstr.io — but you can still take a break whenever you need.

To do that, just **downgrade to the free plan** from the **Plans & Billing** section. You can keep using the free version of lobstr.io in the meantime.

When you're ready to come back, simply upgrade to your preferred plan again. Your account will be right where you left it.

## Can I reset my subscription after using all my monthly credits?

Yes — see the detailed guide: [How to Reset Your Billing Cycle](/billing/reset-billing-cycle).
