When you become a patron to a creator who is charging per-post, you have the option of setting a monthly limit to your payments. This prevents you from being charged more than you're comfortable, if the creator makes several paid posts in a given month.
If you have never made a payment to the creator
Step 1: After clicking Become a Patron to a per-post creator and choosing your tier, you will be brought to a membership confirmation page:
Step 2: Select the checkbox for I'd like to set a monthly limit. The option to enter the max number of times per month you’d like to contribute to paid posts will appear. This number indicates how many times you can be billed in a month, not the total monthly amount.
Example: If you pledge $2.00 USD per post with a monthly limit set up to 2 times, your total pledge amount will be $4.00 USD.
Step 3: Once you click Confirm, you will be a patron of the per-post creator with a monthly max set.
Setting a monthly max later
You can set up a monthly limit to your membership at anytime. You can also edit or remove your monthly max if you'd like.
Follow the steps below to set a monthly limit after you’ve already confirmed your membership:
Step 1: From the Dropdown menu in the top right select My memberships.
Step 2: Once you are brought to the next page, click Edit next to your membership.
Step 3: On the following page, select the checkbox next to I'd like set a monthly max. An option will appear asking you how many times per month you’d like to contribute at max. This number indicates how many times you can be billed in a month, not the total amount.
Step 4: Click Confirm to save the change, and your monthly limit will be set up. Setting a monthly max will not remove any already pending bills on your account. So if you’ve already been billed for a creator’s paid posts, setting a monthly max will not retroactively remove those pending bills.
