@Alby1986 as @0ldNick mentioned if you purchase month to month, make sure to Cancel if you are not planning to get anymore Humble Monthly in near future or else you will run into issues of the Monthly not being paused but you lose Subscriber status. When it is billing date, you are charged. You will get an email on your 1st month of pause and an unpause after that month but not subsequently. Instead you might even get a "Here's your monthly" email even though you did not purchase or the keys are not present in your Humble account. Its most probably an automation error, so just take note for anyone like myself taking this route on your bank account.
However, I presume as long as you see a billing date in your Humble page settings, you are due for a charge. Thereby, make sure you Cancel or Pause before the billing date. Cheers, Cruse~

If you want to make a one-time payment instead of a subscription, you can use the gift option for the monthly and gift it to your email address. That's what I did before I started subscribing to test the waters.
That's less of a hassle than having to pause forever XD

I think @flutesong meant if you bought it through the way you mentioned and if the key is invalid or duplicate. You reporting to Humble regarding an invalid key will be refuse and suspicion of being a "reseller". Since its against humble's regulation. That is how I interpret it. Cheers~

Least hassle is just keeping it unpaused and giving away anything you didn't want. That way you don't have to join the ones crying about how the early unlocks were trash like Destiny 2 but all the rest was something you wanted after all. :)

I actually had a similar question. I just bought the August bundle, and in my settings it says the next billing date is Aug 31, which I think would be for the October bundle. Does that mean that I won't get auto-charged for the September bundle once they reveal it if I don't cancel/pause? Can I even buy that bundle, if that's the case? Did I totally misunderstand how this works?
Thanks for anyone could shed a light on this for me. :)

Read my reply above under @0ldNick's reply. Technically, you Will be charged if you do Nothing by Aug 31. If you do Not Like the next Revealed game(s) and do Not Wish to purchase. Do a Cancel - End of worries OR Pause - You have to Pause Every Month manually if you do not want the Monthly for that month. If you are still unclear and I think I can help just post your question under my reply. :)
Cheers, Cruse~

I was planning to cancel or pause before Aug 31, but I just wanted to have time to download the trove games first and I won't have time to do that for the next week because I won't have Internet. I just wanted to make sure that I'm safe till then.

If you want to be safe, just remove your credit card or other payment options. They can't charge you if they don't know how/where to charge you.

Hahaha, You can do what @junkcatch22 suggested too. They can't charge you. Yes, you are safe till then. For me, I am almost ahead of the Canadian time which Humble is based in. Correct me if I am wrong. Therefore, if I stop the charge at least a day ahead of time, I will be safe.
I have downloaded games that looked interesting from Trove but yet to play them well due to Steam backlog. Although you can play them anytime you want, just do not lose your HDD. Cheers~

Next Billing is for the September Bundle which is due to reveal tomorrow. Tomorrow, you will receive the rest of the August Bundle after the 3 games already unlock of A Hat in Time, Conan Exiles and Escapists 2. No charges will happen till Aug 31st, 2018 which will be automated with the payment method you choose.
If you really like the games, you can select to pay for Early Unlock and you will get the keys for the games that is revealed tomorrow. For example, if you I select Early Unlock this month, because I have Subscriber status for the month, I will get the keys of A Hat in Time, Conan and Escapist before the automated Billing Date of 27 Jul. So if you pay before 31 Aug then you get the new revealed game(s).
I know its a little confusing which took me 3 months to understand how it works. Previously I thought I was buying keys for previous month. In this case I thought I will get Blackwake, Portal Knights and Hearts of Iron IV but no, you are getting Conan + 2 games.
In short, you will be able to buy at anytime. You Will be Charge, Money taken from Account if you do Nothing by 31 Aug. The next Billing is for September, Not October. Just be really careful if you decide to leave it and pause the month, that is when things get more confusing. You can see your new billing details in "Manage My Subscription" then "Billing History".
Edit: For future reference and the confusing part, from my experience. You have to pause manually Every month before the Billing Date if you Do Not wish to purchase the Month's Monthly, even though you had paused it on the previous month or your subscription is just Month to Month.
Even if you Do Not see the Subscription status and you had previously purchased the Monthly but not Cancelled the subscription. As long as you see a "Next Billing Date" under settings, you will most likely to be billed. The Billing History is very important, it tells you if you are "paused" in the current month or you had "Cancelled" your subscription.
Here comes some questions. I am not sure if you cancelled after getting your current Monthly on reveal; Will you get a Month's worth of Subscription Status or your Status will be void immediately. Personally, I let it carry on till billing date incase I wanted to purchase something off the store.
My subscription is off for this month as I had paused for 2 months but I am still charged for this month. I let it carry out the charges as I wanted Conan and A Hat in Time. Thereby it is important to Cancel or Pause before time.
I am not sure if you have a year's subscription, How long/how many times can you pause? I do not think they will allow endless amount of pauses for Yearly but I hope I am wrong as it will be great if I can pause up to 6 bundles or more for example.
**If you are still confused, just ask away here again, Cheers, Cruse~
