What's the "next renewal date"?

Suppose you started a plan on the 10th of the month. If you change the plan between the 1st and 9th (inclusive) of a month, the next renewal date is the 10th of the current month.

If you change plans on the 10th or any following day until the end of the month, the renewal date is the 10th of the next month.

For a yearly plan, it will be the same date one year after the start of the subscription (however, if the first contract date is February 29 of a leap year, it will be February 28 of the following year).

For example, if you started a monthly plan on June 15 and you switch to a yearly payment option for the same plan on September 20, the next renewal date will be October 15.

*Disclaimer: renewal dates may differ due to time zone differences, etc.
