Manage Subscription

If you are subscribed to a paid plan, you can change your subscription details, such as the renewal date or cycle and usage limits, from the [Billing] - [Subscription] section. Please routinely check your usage and manage your costs via the current usage dashboard.

You can manage your subscription details, such as renewal options, payment dates, and usage, from [Billing] - [Subscription]. In addition, you can check your current usage to monitor your billing amount.

Current Plan

  • You can see the usage limits for each feature of the plan your channel is currently on.

Renewal

  • By default, plan subscriptions automatically renew each month/year.

    • You can turn auto-renewal ON or OFF

      • Click the edit icon at the right corner, and change the plan renewal setting

      • If it is OFF, your channel will be switched to a free plan when your current subscription ends

Payment date

  • The payment date is determined as the date of the first payment

    • The payment date can be any day between the 1st to 27th.

    • If your first payment date is one of the days between 28th to 31st, your subscription will be set to the ‘last day of the month’.

  • How to change the payment date

    • How-to: [Channel Settings] - [Billing] - [Subscription] - [Payment date]

    • Click the edit icon at the right corner, and change the payment date.

    • After the change is made, the first upcoming payment date will remain the same as before the change. The bill will include the adjusted period of the subscription. This adjustment may result in a different billing amount, but only for this period.

You can see a summary of your usage under [Subscription] - [Current Usage]. Clicking on each item will bring you to a detailed dashboard.

Calculation Period for Current Usage

  • Monthly subscription: from the current month's payment date to the day before the next month's payment date

    • If you change the payment date during a subscription period, the usage calculation period may also change, shorter or longer than one month.

  • Yearly subscription: usage calculations renew monthly from the subscription start date.

    • Example case: If you start your yearly subscription on Oct 9th, you can review the usage from Oct 9th to Nov 8th, and then from Nov 9th to Dec 8th in the following month.

Estimated Usage This Month (Current Usage tab)

This dashboard gives you a detailed look at your usage this month. Check it from time to time to keep your costs under control.

  • You can see your current usage, remaining prepaid usage, and limits for each feature

  • You can monitor your usage status and estimate your postpaid bill

  • If you're expecting a postpaid bill, purchase a prepaid top-up in advance. It will save you money compared to postpaid billing.

  • Prepaid usage is a great option to save costs if you can estimate your average monthly usage (→ Learn more about Prepaid Usage)

  • Current usage: This is your usage for the current month. You can hover over it to see the details: if you've reached your limit, it'll say [Limit reached], or if you've incurred postpaid charges, it'll say [Postpaid charge].

  • Remaining usage: The amount you have left to use this month without incurring additional charges.

  • Remaining prepaid usage (in advance) this month: This is the amount you can use in advance for the current month without incurring any additional charges. Once you've run out of this usage, you'll be billed postpaid for any overuse.

  • Minimum limit: This is the minimum amount that will be deducted even if you do not actually use them this month.

    Text and Kakao Talk messages are not subject to minimum usage limits.

  • Limits: Displays any system or manual limits you have set. If your usage exceeds your limit, the feature will be limited in its function.

  • Excess Postpaid cost (estimated): This shows the estimated amount you will be charged for postpaid on your billing date.
