Billing
When your subscription is suspended
What a suspended workspace can still do, what stops, and how to get everything back.
Updated 7 November 2026
A paid subscription that isn't renewed by the end of its billing period is suspended. Your workspace goes read-only until you renew — nothing is deleted.
How it works
Renewal is due at the end of your billing period, and it's enforced on that date. There's no extra window afterwards: when the account is due, it's due.
On the website, look for:
- A red banner across the top of every page — Your subscription is suspended
- A message in your notification bell, and an email
- A card on Settings → Billing → Overview with a Renew now button
Your plan is kept, so renewing puts you back on the same plan in one step.
What still works
You can browse everything. Contacts, conversations, orders, reports — all still readable, so you don't lose sight of your business.
You can also still use the parts you need to fix it: billing, payments, plans, your support requests and your notifications all work normally.
What stops
Anything that changes or sends something. Replying to a customer, sending a campaign, creating an order, editing a contact — all of it is refused with a message telling you the subscription is suspended and to renew.
Get it back
- Choose Renew subscription on the banner, or Renew now on the Billing overview.
- Pay at secure checkout.
After payment completes, check that Billing shows an active subscription. If the suspension remains, contact support before paying again. To choose a different plan, follow Your plan and what it includes.
For automatic renewal, check that it is enabled and that a reusable payment card is available. Keep your billing details current and check the payment result; a saved card does not guarantee a successful renewal.
A different kind of pause
If the banner reads This workspace is paused instead, this isn't a payment problem. The plan on the account that owns this workspace no longer includes it. Nothing has been deleted, and paying from here won't fix it — the owner needs to upgrade, and then everything comes back.
When renewing doesn't fix it
- Nothing changed after paying. Check billing history to confirm the payment completed. See Billing details and payment methods for your platform.
- The payment was declined. Add a different card or mobile money number under Payment methods and try again.
- You're blocked from everything, including billing. That's a different kind of suspension — one our team applied — and it can't be lifted by paying. Follow Ask Qcom for help, or use the support option shown with the suspension message.
