If cancel_at_period_end is set to true, what happens?

• A. Cancel immediately
• B. Cancel if the customer requests
• C. The subscription runs until the end of the current period
• D. The subscription is paused

Answer: (C)

Cancel at period end means the subscription stays active for the entire current billing period and is automatically canceled when that period ends. This lets the customer use the service for what they’ve already paid for, with no renewal after the period completes. It is not canceled immediately, and it isn’t contingent on a later customer request or a paused state. After the current period ends, the subscription ends, so there won’t be a renewal for the next period.
