Introduction

SocialPilot’s “Pause Account” feature allows you to temporarily stop your account and keep your data safe and configuration intact while you decide to take a break from managing your social media marketing with our tool.

You can resume your account whenever you feel like it amid the paused duration, and access your saved data and configurations to start using the tool again.

What Is the Maximum Duration for Which the Account Can Be Paused?

All subscribed users can pause their SocialPilot subscription for a duration of 30 days. This applies to both segments, monthly and annually paying users. 

How Do the Payments Work in Paused Accounts?

For Monthly Paying Users:

If these users pause their accounts, payment won't be deducted from them on their upcoming billing date. 

For Annually Paying Users: 

For users who pay yearly, their next billing date would be postponed by a month in the future, as their subscription period will include the pause period. They won't be charged extra for the pause period. 

How to Pause Your Account?

1. Open your SocialPilot dashboard and click on the profile icon on the top right. Click on your Profile from the drop-down menu.

   

2. On the Subscription page, locate and click on 'Cancel Subscription' below the plan details of your current plan in SocialPilot.

4. In the new pop-up window, click on Confirm.

   

5. You will receive an on-screen message and email notification about the account pause.

How to Reactivate Your Paused Account?

1. Log in to your SocialPilot account and go to the subscription summary page.
2. If your account is paused, click on the Resume Now button, confirm the choice.
