You can view your current billing cycle and next payment date in Settings > Subscription.
FAQ
Can I switch from annual to monthly and get a refund for the unused portion? Switching takes effect at the end of your annual period. No partial refund is issued for the remaining time. See Cancellation & Refunds for our refund policy.
When does the annual renewal happen? Exactly one year from your original signup date.
Is there a discount for paying multiple years upfront? Not currently. Annual billing is the longest billing cycle available.
