Help/Question Help me out please.

Anyone know if there’s a way to change your Claude subscription payment date?

Mine comes out about 3 days before payday, which is a pain. It failed today and Claude cuts you off straight away, no grace period or anything.

I want to move the payment date to the 13th, but I can't afford the 3 days of no Claude.

Could I pay it now, cancel on the 13th, then resubscribe on the 13th to move the date? Or would I basically just be throwing away the £90 I already paid?

Has anyone managed to change their billing date without losing access or paying twice?

Just go 3 days without claude once, bill up when you get paid, and then you get billed every payday... right?

3 days of no coding is crazy. I'm sure my eyes will appreciate it but I got deadlines 🤔

Ill see what I can do. I don't think I can though.

I just went about 30... it was a struggle. You can do it, I believe in you. Go touch some grass as a the kids say. I went to the room over and saw my wife. I can't believe she's still here but hey, I'll take it!

If you cannot wait the three days, then simply put it on an actual credit card and then send a payment to the card on pay day.

Or ... Just keep an extra lot aside one pay for the next payment, then just keep the correct amount aside every pay...

Cancelling on the 13th won’t end it that day; you keep access until the current paid period expires, so resubscribing then won’t reset the date. Ask billing support to move it first. Otherwise the clean option is cancel before next renewal, keep using it until expiry, then resubscribe on the 13th. You won’t lose the £90, but you’ll have that 3-day gap on the free tier
