By clicking Cancel at end of period you will cancel your current subscription, but the plan that has already been paid for will stay active and you will have the possibility to revert the changes by restarting your subscription until the pending cancellation date:
Past Due State
If your subscription expires and your card cannot be charged due to some reason, your plan gets the Past Due status:
However, we offer our users a three-day grace period to make the due payment. Also, three Dunning notice emails (one a day) are sent to the indicated email address signifying that your card could not be charged.
Important Notice!
Be informed that the billing address can be DIFFERENT from the email address our customers use as their Appery.io account; therefore, if you are no longer using the mailbox indicated as your billing email address, it`s advisable that you update your account billing information if you need to stay updated.
So, if you face such a situation, please check the indicated email address inbox under the Account > Billing tab and try to figure out why you failed to receive all the dunning notices from Appery.io sent to you.
Please note that it is our users' responsibility to keep their account information updated as the system sends emails to the indicated addresses automatically.
Most often, the reasons why a paid subscription becomes past due relate to the expired card used or insufficient funds on it.
So, to resolve payment issues, first of all, we recommend that you review your credit card information under Account > Billing > Credit Card Information and, if needed, update your card information.
Inactivity
After your trial period expires (or a paid plan is canceled for lack of payment), your account will still remain active, but all the functionality (Apps, Databases, Server Code, API Express, etc.) will be disabled for editing with the exception of the Account page. Other pages (Apps, Databases, Server Code, Secure Proxy, API Express, Resources) can be viewed in read-only mode.
Information about Suspending Subscription
Unfortunately, we don't have any managed option for suspending user subscriptions. However, if you feel you need to take a break, you may consider exporting backup files of your Appery.io apps, databases, API Express projects and then re importing them whenever you ready to reactivate your Appery.io account or just in case of making a local backup.
To regain access to your resources, sign in any time and purchase a paid plan (or renew your suspended plan payment):
Expiring Accounts
Per our terms of use, we may suspend, terminate or delete free accounts that are inactive for a period of two months or more. Our system usually sends emails after 60 days of inactivity (no login, or API calls) to notify of a pending deletion of content to give users a chance to maintain their accounts active. If the account continues inactivity, all resources are deleted and cannot be restored. Paid plans that are canceled or expired due to lack of payment are subject to the same content deletion terms and practices. Please read more in the sections Can I cancel at any time? and What happens to my apps when the trial period expires? on our FAQ page.
To restore the account with keeping your projects please select one of the paid plans within the indicated period of time.
