Creators can pause membership billing while their Patreon page remains accessible to members. If you aren’t sure whether you should have been charged, you can always check your Memberships tab to review your active membership and message the creator to follow up.
Reasons why you may not be charged
- There are a few reasons why a creator might pause their page. They might be on vacation or may not have had enough time to make a post this month. We encourage creators to let their members know why they’re pausing their billing, so check your creators' recent posts for any announcements
- Another reason you might not have been charged is that your creator is on a legacy billing model that charges per creation and has not created any paid posts this month. You can check if your creator charges per creation by visiting your Billing history
If you're concerned about a gap in benefits, feel free to message your creator directly. For more details about messaging a creator, visit our guide How do I message a creator?.
Creators can pause billing for multiple months. However, your payments will likely continue automatically next month.
