# What happens when my current subscription expires?

| **Quick answer:** If **auto-renew is ON**, your plan continues with no interruption. If you’ve cancelled auto-renew, the plan ends on its renewal date and your account drops to the free tier - allowing you to open only your 20 most-recent recipes and two shopping lists until you resubscribe.

# Will my plan renew automatically?

* **Yes** - if you left auto-renew active in the App Store, Google Play, or Stripe billing portal.
* **No** - if you cancelled auto-renew at least 24 hours before the renewal date; your subscription simply ends.

# What happens if my paid subscription expires?

1. **Account status** switches to free.
2. **Recipes** – only the 20 newest recipes stay viewable; older ones become locked.
3. **Shopping lists** – you keep the General Items list and your most-recent custom list; extra lists are locked.
4. **Imports and edits** – blocked until you choose a new plan.

**Tip:** To show your newest recipes, open **R****ecipes → Filter → Sort by → Created (newest)**.
