Credits allocated to your Censys Starter account have a one-month rollover. This means that they are effectively valid for two months after they are added. Unused credits expire at the end of their rollover period.

* You retain access to all features and credits until the start of your next billing cycle.
* Your collections will be archived.&#x20;
* Your tags stay visible but cannot be edited.
* You can keep using the Platform with your Censys Free account and can resubscribe at any time.

## Downgrade your Starter Pro subscription

To downgrade from Starter Pro to Starter, cancel your Starter Pro subscription. After the end of your current billing period, resubscribe at the Starter level.
