The most expensive subscription is for 365 days, 12 TB bandwidth and the user can also choose between 10 Tb storage or unlimited storage with the same expiration date. Payments are done by entering credit card information. By default, the subscription renews itself after the first one expires, meaning the user is charged again for an extension of their premium membership, 24 hours before the expiration and doesn’t need to worry about going through the payment process again. This can be easily stopped by unsubscribing from automatic renewal on the account profile page.
