Managing your subscription

What happens if payment fails
Stripe will retry the charge up to 3 times. If all retries fail, your account enters 'past due' status.
Day 1 - 7: Everything works normally. You will see a banner asking you to update your payment method.
Day 7 - 14: Your account switches to read-only. You can view all data but cannot create or edit.
Day 14+: Account is locked. Update your payment in Settings > Billing to restore full access. No data is deleted.
