# What is the difference between pausing and cancelling my membership?

You can pause your membership at any time, for as long as you like. Your pause will start immediately when you click **Pause** in your Payment Details [here](https://app.heylady.io/settings/payment-details), and will remain in place until you log in and click **Unpause**.

**While your membership is paused:**

✅ You can still log in, message friends, receive invitations, and see what’s happening in the community  
❌ You won’t be able to join events   
❌ You won’t have access to learning materials or video lessons

Any unused days in your billing cycle will be saved and automatically applied when you unpause your membership.

**If you cancel your membership:**

Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle, so you’ll still have full access to the platform until then. After that, your access will end.

You’re always welcome to rejoin in the future, but please note that pricing may change over time. If you’d like to keep your current membership fee, pausing instead of cancelling will allow you to do that.
