The Pattern offers two main subscription plans: the Go Deeper+ subscription, which can be paid quarterly or annually, and the Connect+ subscription, available quarterly. These subscriptions are billed through your App Store or Play Store account and automatically renew until you cancel. You get charged right when you subscribe, and you can cancel anytime, with your subscription staying active until the end of the paid period. Basically, if you're seeing charges from The Pattern, it's likely because you subscribed to one of these plans for extra features or deeper insights.

The cancellation process for The Pattern subscription involves understanding if the subscription was purchased through Apple App Store or Google Play, since cancellation must go through those platforms, not The Pattern directly. While normal, this adds a moderate layer of complexity. Users must also be aware that simply deleting the app or account does not cancel the subscription, which can cause confusion, but overall canceling is straightforward if platform instructions are followed.

- Escalate by involving your bank or credit card company; report unauthorized charges or request to block future payments.
- Use virtual or prepaid credit cards for subscriptions to easily control or block charges.
- Select a false cancellation reason strategic to services (e.g., "I'm moving to a country where the service isn't available") to make cancellation smoother.
- Change your address or claim residency in states like California where laws require easy online cancellation.
- Send formal cancellation emails documenting all attempts and times; mention system issues or inability to cancel online if applicable.
- Use definitive, clear language like "Please cancel my subscription effective immediately" to avoid ambiguity.
- Save proof of cancellation such as confirmation emails, screenshots, or call records for potential disputes.
- Timing tip: cancel right after billing or subscription start date to ensure you are not billed for the next cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Pattern subscriptions automatically renew and must be canceled before the end of any free trial, subscription period, or renewal to avoid future charges. Canceling your subscription does not delete your account; account deletion is separate through the app. Refunds and cancellations of subscriptions purchased via Apple or Google Play must be handled directly through those platforms.
You do not need a password to cancel your subscription on The Pattern. You can manage and cancel your subscription directly through the App Store (Apple devices) or Google Play Store (Android devices) without needing to log in to The Pattern app itself. The Pattern now uses email login with verification links instead of passwords, so if you need to access your account, you simply receive a link via email.

The Pattern subscription can be canceled at any time without any early cancellation fees or lock-in contracts. However, you need to cancel the subscription through your device's app store subscription settings (Apple or Google Play), as deleting the app does not cancel the subscription automatically. After canceling, you still retain access to the subscription content until the end of the currently paid billing period. Be aware that memberships renew automatically unless canceled before the renewal date.
Before cancelling your subscription to The Pattern, be aware that you will lose access to all premium content such as audio and written insights in Patterns, Impacts, and Current Moon Experience, as well as content in My Lens & Discover. Additionally, features like custom profiles, unlimited bonds, and various "Go Deeper" premium readings including Friendship and Romantic Bond readings will no longer be available. Connect+ subscription perks such as seeing pending connections, unlimited likes, rollbacks, and Super Connects will also be lost. However, cancelling does not immediately end your subscription; you can still use your benefits until the time you've already paid for expires.
