When is my plan changing?

Your subscription plan will be updated at your next renewal date on or after November 1, 2021. Customers on a month-to-month plan will see the update on November 1, 2021, with the updated price reflected on their November invoice. Customers on an annual plan will see the update at their next renewal date, with the updated price reflected on the invoice for that month.
