So first of next month is hidden from everybody ;) If you subbed with monthly payment, then the money is taken from your paypal/bank account on the last Friday of the month, and the new bundle is revealed on the first Friday. :)
If you just subbed and you can choose from the current monthly, there is no need to pause. Cause the next months money will be taken only 28th August. And we will already know those games on 7th August :)
Also If you resume your subscription, no Month will be skipped. Usually if you press pause it will send you a reminder once it will be again running...

Oh, so, all games for August will be revealed on 7th of August, what happens then? I can choose to "buy" the bundle and the money will be taken from paypal on 28th of August (3 weeks after reveal), or I can skip the bundle by pausing it and no money will be taken from me on 28th of August?
Do I understand this correctly? Humble bundle takes money from me 3 weeks after reveal, and not before they reveal games?

Yep, that's correct. You can wait for the bundle to be revealed, and if you decide to choose the games to get, then you pay, but if you don't think it's worth it, just pause and you don't need to worry. Just remember you have to do this every month though, and when you pause, you also lose access to subscriber perks (bonus sales, access to humble trove).
You can also unpause in the case you end up wanting the bundle later on.

Cool, so I dont pay upfront for next month without knowing what next month games are, right?
Why does Humble Bundle take money from me at the end of month, and not right after I pick 9 games from the Bundle Choice though?

Yeah, you don't pay upfront. The games are revealed and you can wait until the auto payment date to make your decision of either buying the bundle or pausing. Basically there is no mystery system anymore (well except for the one mystery bonus game).
Also, I think you do pay either once the auto payment time comes or specifically when you choose your games.

You can choose to unlock it early and get your games (you'll be charged) right away after it's launch. Or you can wait until 28.08, and you'll be auto charged unless you pause. You don't have to pause it right now, as you already purchased July bundle. (You'll have 20% discount on store and access to Trove if you unpaused.)

oh,I think I get it now :D, so, since I am subbed, new games will be revealed on 7th of august, if I will pick games for example right away on 7th of august, I will be charged right away, but if I dont do anything, I will be charged on 28 of august anyways, right? I will be able to pick games from august bundle at any later date anyways, right?
And if lets say after 7th of august, after the new games reveal I will decide that I do not like the bundle and choose to pause it, I will not be charged at 28th of august and will skip whole month altogether.

That's right.
Plus, games are announced for everyone - sub or not - the first Friday of each month. If you do pause( and lose the 20% store discount + trove access) but then wanted the 20% discount/trove that month, unpausing will charge you instantly. If you don't buy from store often, pausing right away during the month you don't want may be a good idea in case you forget to pause later. If you want to keep the 20%+trove as long as you can, pausing a few days before the autocharge date is riskier but doable.

Just want to make it clear, After the reveal of Humble Choice on the 1st friday, you'll can purchase/resub at anytime. before the next reveal. During any point, you pause, you lose subscriber access to: Humble Trove and Store Discount. If you decide to unpause at the last moment, you still can.
You and keep pausing to keep Classic status or your current Choice; Auto-Charge date is the last Friday of every month as stated in the Humble FAQ. NOW, here is something I am not too sure because there are different tiers in Choice from access to Trove+Store discount, 3 Choices+Store discount to 9 Choices+Store discount. I guess you can upgrade or downgrade in Manage Your Subscription. You will have to keep your sub going by Pausing for Classic subs, if not, you will lose the status.(Not for you but useful info.)
After you are subbed, you dont have to choose the games right away. The choice of the games will still be available to you after that. For how long will that last? I do not know. I am a classic sub and I've not fully redeemed for all the months I subbed. You can just go into your purchases and choose them when you want to.

Hello guys,
I would just like to ask, I recently subbed to Humble Choice, and received the July Humble Choice, after that I paused my sub.
Once next month comes (August), and new games are revealed, if I resub, will I get the August Choice bundle or august will be skipped and I will get September Humble Choice?
Are next month games sort of "hidden" from regulars subs?
Thanks :)
