- **Pausing:** Eligible paid memberships can be paused for up to 90 days once per 12 months after 30 paid days. Payments stop during the pause, and benefits vary by plan.
- **Downgrading:** Audible permits plan changes, but included credits and catalog access vary. Cancellation ends membership benefits while purchased titles remain in the library.
- **Account data:** Audible cannot be deleted separately from the linked Amazon account. Closing the combined account removes access to purchased Audible titles, so download or document anything needed first.
