You can upgrade the subscription plan in your account. Please note, that if you cancel the subscription and then subscribe to a lower plan, all items downloaded with the higher plan will not be available to you. Now you can only upgrade to the same period plan, for example, Creator (monthly) to Business (monthly). A billing date stays the same. By far the most confusing aspect of plan changes is how existing payments are factored into the amount charged to the customer. When changing plans, System will prorate the subscription costs. As an example, say the customer is billed on the 1st of every month, and you execute a plan change half-way through the billing cycle (in this case, mid-month on a monthly cycle - eg. the 15th of the month). In this case, the customer has already paid $10 and used half of that (because they’re half-way through the month). When the customer is switched to the new plan which has a price of $30.00, the unused portion of their previous cycle (in this case $5) is applied as a credit. The cost of the new plan for the rest of the billing cycle (ie. the remaining 15 days of the month) would be $15. Applying the $5.00 credit to this amount, results in a prorated cost of switching from the Basic to the Pro plan of $10. This amount will be added to their next billed amount. The next billed amount, at the start of the next month, would also reflect the payment required on the new plan for that upcoming month: $30. Thus the next billed amount would be for total of $40 ($30 for their upcoming billing cycle, and $10 for the prorated amount of their previous cycle). Note that in this example of changing between monthly subscriptions the plan change would not alter the billing date or cycle. The customer will not be billed $40 at the point the plans are switched, the charge is reflected in the next billed amount (which remains on the same billing cycle as both plans have the same (monthly) billing frequency.
