Tracking subscription status

You can monitor the status of your dedicated node subscriptions in three different ways.

1. Dashboard

The widget on your dashboard alerts you when your subscription is about to expire or is in a grace period. Click the widget to open a pop-up that lists all nodes that require renewal.

2. Plan manager

The Manage Plans section can be found by navigating to the “Pricing” option in the left-side menu. You'll see three tabs: click on “Manage Plans” to view all your subscriptions in one place.

3. "Endpoints" list

Each endpoint in “My endpoints” list shows its current subscription status.

Changing the subscription period

You can modify your subscription period at any time if you’re on a one-time payment plan paid with:

• Cryptocurrency;

• Credit card.

Note on Recurring Payments

Users cannot manually extend a plan when using recurring payments. These subscriptions renew automatically at the end of a billing cycle.

However, if a payment fails (e.g., due to an expired card or insufficient funds), your subscription will enter a 3-day grace period. During this time, your node remains active, allowing you to update your payment details and retry the renewal before the service is interrupted.

Available options

You can extend your subscription to one of the following periods:

• 1 month

• 6 months

• 12 months

How to keep your Dedicated Node running smoothly

• Keep an eye on your subscription. Check your dashboard or plan manager to track expiration dates. Status tracking is now easier with our latest updates.

• Avoid disruptions by renewing before your subscription ends. This ensures your node remains active and accessible without downtime.

• For recurring payments, ensure your card information is up to date. Payment failures (e.g., expired card) can interrupt service.
