Taking a Break Without Deleting Your Account

If you want to take a break, the best option is to cancel your subscription and return later. This keeps your account and history safe.

Important: Pause Is Not Available

Masquerading does not currently offer a pause option for subscriptions. The recommended temporary-break flow is:

  1. Cancel your subscription in Stripe Customer Portal
  2. Keep full access until your current billing period ends
  3. Move to events-only viewing after expiry
  4. Reactivate anytime when you're ready

Do Not Delete Your Account

Cancel subscription and delete account are different:

  • Cancel subscription: Stops future billing and keeps your account
  • Delete account: Permanently removes your account, characters, chats, and history

If you're only taking a break, do not delete your account.

What You Keep After Cancellation

  • Your account stays active
  • Your characters and profile stay saved
  • Your existing content remains in the system
  • Events-only viewing remains available

What Changes After Cancellation

  • You lose access to premium features after the billing period ends
  • Green Rooms, DMs, Dating, and character creation become unavailable
  • No further charges are taken unless you reactivate

How to Cancel Subscription (Without Deleting Account)

  1. Go to account settings
  2. Click Manage Subscription
  3. Complete cancellation in Stripe Customer Portal

How to Reactivate Later

  1. Return to account settings
  2. Click Upgrade or Subscribe
  3. Choose Monthly or Annual and complete checkout
  4. Full access is restored immediately
