If you’re on a monthly plan and need a short break, you can pause your subscription for up to three months. Here's how it works:
Who can pause their subscription?
Only monthly subscribers can pause.
Annual plans cannot be paused mid-term.
How to pause your subscription
Log in to your DataCamp account.
Go to Account Settings → Subscription → Manage Subscription.
Choose a pause duration: 1, 2, or 3 months.
Your subscription will pause after your current billing cycle ends.
What happens during the pause?
You’ll keep access until the end of your current billing period.
You won’t be charged during the pause.
Your subscription expiration date is not extended.
Billing resumes automatically after your selected pause period.
Can I reactivate early?
Yes! You can resume your subscription at any time:
Go to Account Settings → Subscription
Click Reactivate Now
Pause limitations
You can only pause for up to 3 months per pause request.
Only one pause request can be active at a time.
Need a longer break?
If you’re not sure when you’ll return, consider canceling your subscription instead:
Go to Account Settings → Subscription → Manage Subscription → Cancel.
You'll retain access until the end of your billing cycle.
Your learning progress is saved.
