# Subscriptions

Open the **Subscriptions** page in [my.cubepath.com](https://my.cubepath.com) to see every recurring invoice tied to your account.

## What a subscription is

A subscription is a recurring invoice for resources billed on a fixed cycle — a monthly dedicated server, reserved capacity, an IP Transit port. Each one generates a new charge automatically on its renewal date, at a frequency of **Monthly**, **Quarterly** or **Yearly**.

> Note: New subscriptions appear here automatically when a recurring invoice is created. There's nothing to set up.

## The overview cards

- **Active subscriptions** — how many recurring invoices are currently active.
- **Monthly recurring** — estimated monthly cost across all of them. Quarterly and yearly totals are normalized to a per-month figure, shown per currency.
- **Next billing** — the date of your next automatic charge.

**Monthly recurring** is the number worth knowing: it's your fixed floor, the amount you'll spend next month before deploying anything at all.

## The subscriptions table

**All subscriptions** lists one row per subscription with **Name**, **Status**, **Frequency**, **Next billing** date, **Items** count and **Amount**. Status is **Active**, **Paused** or **Cancelled**.

Expand a row to see its line items. Each shows a **Description**, the linked **Service** (VPS, Baremetal, Load Balancer or Transit — click through to the resource) and its **Amount**.

> Tip: Expanding the rows is how you find out what you're actually committed to. A subscription named after a project can contain several servers, and the line items are the only place the individual resources are listed.

## Subscriptions vs. hourly billing

Subscriptions cover resources on a fixed recurring cycle. Anything billed by the hour — VPS, floating IPs, load balancers — isn't a subscription and won't appear here; it draws down your prepaid [balance](/docs/products/billing/balance) instead.

Use **View monthly summary** at the top of the page to review hourly and metered charges, or go straight to [Usage Logs](/docs/products/billing/usage-logs).

## Before a renewal

A subscription renews automatically on its date, and a fixed-term resource is charged for the whole next term. If you don't intend to keep something, cancel it **before** the renewal date rather than after — a dedicated server's cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term, so the timing is what decides whether you pay for another month.
