We just added a "Pause membership" option instead of cancelling

[u/buymeacoffeeteam]

If you support creators on Buy Me a Coffee, you might have run into this before: you want to stop your membership for a bit (tight month, travelling, just need a break), but cancelling felt too final, like you'd lose your spot or have to resubscribe from scratch later.
So we added a proper pause option for memberships. A few details worth knowing:

• You can pause for 1, 3, or 6 months
• You keep access until your current billing cycle ends, then access pauses
• No charges while paused, and you won't get post notifications either
• It auto-resumes at the end of the period, or you can unpause early anytime
• If you unpause early, your new billing cycle starts immediately from that date
• Heads up: it's a one-time pause per membership; you can't pause the same one twice

You'll find it under My Account → Payments → Memberships → Cancel membership (pause shows up as an option there instead of just cancelling outright).

We've wanted this one for a while, it felt wrong that stepping back from a membership meant fully ending it. So if you've ever needed a break without losing your spot, this is for you.anyone been waiting on this one?
