You can pause your membership for a total of up to 90 days every 12 months. It’s a great way to take a break from payments without canceling and while keeping any outstanding credits, if any. At the end of this period, your plan will auto-renew until canceled.

Note: Annual memberships as well as the Audible Standard membership are not eligible for pause.
