FAQs
- Will I be charged again? No—once canceled, it won’t renew for the next billing period. Per‑creation billing may include charges for posts made before cancellation.
- Don’t see the membership? Check your Billing History and make sure you’re on the correct account. Try a password reset to surface other accounts tied to your emails.
- Refunds? Patreon doesn’t typically offer refunds as payments go directly to creators. If you believe there’s an error, contact support.
- Access window: You retain access until the end of your current billing period.
