How to pause your membership

When you pause your membership:

• You can choose the length of this paused state, from 1 to 6 months.
• Your membership will be paused after the end of your current billing cycle.
• While your membership is paused, you (and any family members on your plan) won’t have access to any YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium benefits.
• You can cancel your membership at any time during the paused state.
• If you have a YouTube Premium subscription, any videos or music you've downloaded will be retained. You can't access them until you resume your membership.
• If you have a YouTube Music Premium subscription, any music you've downloaded will be retained. You can't access them until you resume your membership.
• When your paused state ends, you'll automatically be charged for your next month of service at your normal monthly price. If your plan price changed while your membership was paused, you'll be charged the old rate once before being switched to the new price. We’ll notify you via email at least 30 days ahead of a price increase in your country/territory.
• You can un-pause and resume your membership at any time before your scheduled resume date by visiting YouTube.
