Removing a payment method linked to active subscriptions or services
If you need to remove a payment method that is used to automatically renew your subscriptions or pay for any JetBrains services you’re using, consider replacing it with another one as described in this article. Providing a replacement ensures that all your JetBrains tools and services continue to work as expected.
If you choose to remove the payment method without replacing it, carefully read the information below to learn how this will affect your active subscriptions and services.

Subscriptions to IDEs, .NET tools, and plugins
If you remove the payment method used to automatically renew your IDE, .NET tool, or plugin subscriptions, your auto-renewal will be canceled. You’ll be able to use each of the affected subscriptions until its expiration date.
To resume automatic renewals, you’ll need to set up a new payment method. For instructions, please see the following topics:
- How do I set up automatic renewal for a personal subscription?
- How do I enable or disable automatic renewal for commercial subscriptions?
You can also renew your subscriptions manually from the Licenses page in your JetBrains Account or by using the link in the reminder email we send you shortly before the expiration date.

We use the payment method linked to your monthly YouTrack Cloud subscription to:

If you remove or unlink your payment method:
-
We’ll instantly charge you for the maximum number of users that were simultaneously active in your YouTrack during the current month (if that number exceeds 10).
