- **Pausing:** PlayStation's checked subscription help does not document a pause option.
- **Downgrading:** A lower PlayStation Plus tier can be selected and takes effect when the current prepaid period ends.
- **Account data:** Cancellation preserves access until term end. Monthly games, cloud storage and multiplayer benefits then stop, while redeemed packs, avatars and purchased discounts remain. Closing the PlayStation account is separate and permanently deletes account data and content.
