# Can I pause my Storage Studio subscription?

There's no pause option. If you won't need Storage Studio for a while, cancel in the billing portal — you keep access to the end of the paid period — and buy a plan again when you're back.

Your moved files, rules and settings stay in place in between, so coming back picks up where you left off.
