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.
Subscription 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.
Pick a new plan and, if needed, a period (monthly/yearly).
Confirm the change in the modal. What you’ll see: on a running instance a
“Changing plan” service phase appears, then the license is re-issued and the
card shows the new plan.
Where to find the invoice and act
Invoices (С-YYYY-NNNN) and acts (А-YYYY-NNNN) live on the “Documents”
screen: each row has a number, kind, date, amount and a button to download an
A4 PDF. The invoice is created when a payment is created, the act (transfer of
rights) when it settles; the invoice carries an SBP QR code for paying from a
banking app. Details:
Documents and consents.
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.
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 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.
## How to change your plan, step by step
1. Open the [instance dashboard](/en/v1.0/portal/instance) and go to plan change.
2. Pick a **new plan** and, if needed, a **period** (monthly/yearly).
3. Confirm the change in the modal. *What you'll see:* on a running instance a
**"Changing plan"** service phase appears, then the license is re-issued and the
card shows the new plan.
## Where to find the invoice and act
Invoices (`С-YYYY-NNNN`) and acts (`А-YYYY-NNNN`) live on the **"Documents"**
screen: each row has a number, kind, date, amount and a button to download an
**A4 PDF**. The invoice is created when a payment is created, the act (transfer of
rights) when it settles; the invoice carries an **SBP QR code** for paying from a
banking app. Details:
[Documents and consents](/en/v1.0/portal/order-payment#documents-and-consents).
## 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
[Licensing](/en/v1.0/commercial/licensing).
## If it didn't work
- **Plan change rejected** — a "same plan and period" request is not accepted; pick
a different plan or period.
- **Can't change plan on a canceled/expired subscription** — it can't be revived by
a plan change; place a new [order](/en/v1.0/portal/order-payment) instead.
- **Subscription moved to `past_due`** — a recurring charge failed; a payment
warning appears on the dashboard. Check the card and retry payment.
## Tip
To stop the next charge but keep working until the paid period ends, cancel
renewal from this screen and confirm that auto-renewal is off.
