Pause subscription to avoid getting charged for the next month, and restart it at a later date.

Written by LaiYee H

Overview

If your research is on hold, you can pause your subscription to avoid future charges and return to use Delve later.

In Delve, pausing is done by canceling your subscription with the intent to restart it later.

What happens when you pause:

  • You will not be charged after your current billing cycle ends

  • You lose access to Delve while paused

  • Your data is stored for at least one year

  • You can return anytime by renewing

Note: If you’re unsure whether this is the right option, see: Cancel Your Subscription (to ending billing) and Delete Your Account (for permanent removal).
