Pause your subscription

Taking a break? Put your Usenet access on hold — billing pauses too, and you can resume any time.

What happens when you pause

  • Usenet access stops immediately. You can’t download or post while paused.
  • Billing is suspended. No charges go through — you only pay when you’re using it.
  • Resume any time. Lift the pause yourself, or it auto-resumes after a maximum of 3 months.
  • Once per billing period. Available once per year — the next pause is unlocked at your next renewal.
