- **Pausing:** No general Creative Cloud subscription pause was documented in the reviewed official cancellation terms.
- **Downgrading:** Adobe provides a Change your plan flow. The old plan is cancelled, the new plan starts and is charged immediately, and billing and renewal dates reset. An unused-time refund can apply depending on the old plan.
