You'll receive an email reminder a few days before your billing date.

## Failed Payment

If a payment fails:

1. You'll receive an email notification
2. Go to **Workspace Settings** > **Billing**
3. Update your payment method (see above)
4. We'll automatically retry the payment within 24 hours
5. If the retry succeeds, you're all set

**To avoid service interruption**, update your payment method as soon as you get a failed payment notification.
