Hello, quick question:

I dislike the contents of the next humble monthly package, and so I want to pause my subscription. Do I keep the additional perks(10% store discount and access to the trove) until the next month(the one I'm skipping) actually begins or do they go away immediately after canceling?

Thank you. Also: Small Giveaway here.

If you pause you lose the 10% discount and access to Trove until the next month "starts" (so the next Humble Monthly reveal). The pause automatically gets unpaused after the 'month'.

You can pause any time before the automatic payment date, which I believe is the 25th or 27th.

I paused last month, and my bonuses are still off after the reveal.
It wants me to early pay to get them back.

Same for me. I paused / un-paused more than once in the past, and this never happend before.

My first guess, is tightening up control on the store discount and bonus credit on other bundles.

Might be a bug, try asking Humble Support?

According to this support article, once you pause you lose access to the trove and the 10% store discount immediately. You only get those perks while your subscription is active.

You'll lose your Subscriber perks immediately after pausing so if you're uncertain if you're gonna buy something from the store until then you might wanna wait until shortly before the billing date before pausing. Or pause now and then unpause and pause again in case you wanna buy something (not verified).

Also lots of people reported problems with Humble unpausing their subscriptons despite having paused that month so it's always a good idea to double check if you're still paused shortly before you get billed.

Alright, thats what I'll do then. Luckily there is a "remind me" feature too.

Thank you!

r/humblebundles - How does humble monthly work

Q4: Will I get to keep the 10% discount for HB store purchases if I pause my subscription?

A: This isn't totally true. Unfortunately it's a pretty complex subject and is pretty difficult to boil into a single sentence. Generally speaking, if you pause your subscription you will lose your subscriber perks. However, if you own the currently-for-sale Monthly Bundle (i.e. you Paid Early or you just subscribed), your perks will remain active even if you are paused. There are other weird caveats that I won't get into. We added a new section today to the User Settings page that indicates whether you have subscriber perks and gives a reason if you do not.

A lot of people seem to get confused by the fact that the perks stop right away, but apparently continue a week before the next reveal, which is when their charging cycle kicks in. (This is when people panic and think they've been unpaused, because several places on your account page seem to mention the wrong date.)

I've still gotten the past couple July's Humble Monthly games are here! emails, even on months I was paused.
So yeah, they're bad at consistent messaging, and Monthly subscription status is still confusing.

If I cancelled my subscription for this month right now (ive gotten the early unlocks)

I understand I'll lose the 10% off discount and I won't be subscribed for next month and no humble trove, but I still get the rest of the games from this monthly bundle when they unlock, right?

Oh okay! It's not very clear on that, so thank you! I canceled my subscription and it said something very specific about me only keeping the "games I've already received"

which I think they meant you cant download the games in the trove anymore? and thats okay :D

If you're referring to that weird "You won't get awesome games anymore" phrase I think they're talking about future bundles but it's been a while so maybe they changed the wording.
