# Can I pause my subscription?

Topic: [Plans and billing](https://mindstamp.com/help/billing) · Updated: 2026-10-05

## Short answer

Yes. You can pause any paid plan for as long as you need, for a reduced monthly fee. Your videos, views, and viewers stay saved, but viewers cannot watch your videos, including shared links and embeds, until you resume.

## Steps

1. Open the account menu and select **Billing**.
2. At the bottom of the page, select **Pause or cancel subscription**.
3. Read the pause price for your plan on the **Pause for** option.
4. Select the pause option and confirm.
5. To come back, open **Billing** and select **Resume subscription**.

## What a pause does

- Your plan changes to a lower monthly pause price. The page shows the exact amount before you confirm.
- Share links, embeds, and playlists show your videos as unavailable to viewers.
- Your videos, interactions, reports, and viewer data stay saved.
- You and your team cannot open or edit videos in Mindstamp until you resume. Billing stays open so you can resume.
- There is no time limit. Mindstamp emails you after 30, 60, and 90 days on pause as a reminder.

## Resume

Select **Resume subscription** on the Billing page. Your plan goes back to its normal price and your videos play for viewers again.

## Before you pause

- Tell anyone who links to your videos that they will not play during the pause.
- To change plans, resume first. A paused plan cannot be changed.

## Pause or cancel

Pause if you expect to use Mindstamp again and want to keep everything. Cancel if you are finished. After a cancellation ends, your data is kept only for a limited time before it is deleted.
