Use this page to understand billing timing in Remapdb: when changes apply now, when they are scheduled, and what happens when payment fails.

​
How plan changes are applied

When you start a plan update from Settings > Billing, Remapdb uses one of these paths:
  • Checkout flow in Stripe for accounts without a paid subscription.
  • Immediate in-app change with proration, and any amount due charged now.
  • Scheduled change at current period end.
The exact behavior depends on your current plan, target plan, billing cycle.
Change typeTiming and charge behavior
Higher-cost paid-plan changeImmediate. Proration is calculated, and any amount due is charged now.
Lower-cost paid-plan changeScheduled for current period end. Current paid plan stays active until then.
Paid plan to FreeScheduled for current period end.
Monthly to Yearly cycle switchImmediate. Billing anchor resets to now and proration is applied.
Yearly to Monthly cycle switchScheduled for current period end.
For the click-by-click change flow, see Subscribe or change plan.

​
Scheduled change guard

If a future change already exists, Remapdb blocks additional plan updates. To continue:
  1. Open Settings > Billing.
  2. Click the Cancel scheduled change button.
  3. Confirm the action.
  4. Start your new plan update again.

​
How cancellation works in Remapdb

In Remapdb, cancellation from a paid plan is handled as a scheduled downgrade to Free at period end.
  1. Open Settings > Billing.
  2. Click the Update subscription button.
  3. In the pricing modal, click the Downgrade button.
  4. Submit the required reason and optional feedback.
  5. Confirm the downgrade scheduling action.
After scheduling:
  • You keep paid access until the current period end date.
  • Remapdb shows scheduled-change messaging in Status and Renew date.
  • At period end, the account moves to Free behavior.
When you move to a lower plan or to Free, Remapdb keeps your existing paid-feature settings.
Some paid controls become unavailable while your plan does not include them, but their previous configuration stays saved.
If you upgrade again later, those saved settings become available again.

​
Cancel a scheduled downgrade

If you change your mind before period end:
  1. Open Settings > Billing.
  2. Click the Cancel scheduled change button.
  3. Confirm the release action.
  4. Verify your current paid plan remains active.

​
Payment failure lifecycle impact

If payment issues are not resolved, Remapdb can move the subscription to a non-paying state. In that case, subscription will fall back to Free-tier behavior and paid features will be removed. For recovery steps, see Payment failed: next steps.
Your available features follow your active plan. If your billing status changes, the features you can use may change too. See Feature availability by plan.
