If you get credits with your monthly plan, you can pause your membership once every 12 months, for a period of up to 90 days. It’s a great way to take a break from payments without canceling. At the end of this period, your plan will auto-renew until canceled.

Notes:

• The option to pause the membership is only available on the Audible desktop site or mobile site. 
• Annual memberships are not eligible for pause.

Can I put my membership on pause?

You can pause your membership by completing the following steps through the Audible desktop or mobile site:

1. Sign in to your account.
2. Select your username from the site’s top navigation.
3. Select Account details from the drop-down menu.
4. Select the Pause membership link.
5. Select Pause membership to confirm.

Notes:

• Memberships billed through Google Play or the Apple App Store aren’t eligible for pause. You can manage your membership anytime through your Google Play or App Store settings.

• The option to pause the Audible membership in the app is not available.

Can I put my membership on pause during my free trial?

If you're a Premium trial member, you can pause your free trial for 30 days. To pause your free trial, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to your account.
2. Select your username from the site's top navigation.
3. Select Account details from the drop-down menu.
4. Select the Cancel membership link.
5. Select Pause your membership.
6. Select Pause for 30 days to confirm.

Notes:

• Pausing extends your trial period by 30 days.
• You won't have access to the Plus Catalogue or get new credits, but you can continue listening to titles you have already bought with a credit.
• After your pause ends, your trial will resume with access to the Plus Catalogue until renewal.
• If you're billed through the App Store or Google Play Store, the option for pausing your membership is currently unavailable to you.

What does it mean to pause my membership?

When you pause your membership, you’ll pause your monthly payments. It’ll pause your benefits too, like including new credits and access to included titles, but the credits you already own will remain active until they expire. You can still listen to titles you purchased with cash or credit, and you can resume membership or cancel monthly. 

How often can I pause my Audible membership?

You can pause your monthly membership once every 12 months.

Notes:

• This 12-month period begins the day your membership resumes.
• You’re only eligible to pause after 30 days of paid membership.

What happens when my membership resumes?

When your pause period ends, your membership auto-renews for your regular monthly payment until canceled.

What happens if I cancel while my membership is paused?

If you cancel during the pause period, you won’t be billed and you’ll have access to your member benefits until the end of your current billing period.
