Billing

Introduction

The owner of an organization is responsible for the billing, but the responsibility can be delegated in Trading Firm or Institution organizations. Your organization's billing information is never saved by QuantConnect. It’s passed to the Stripe billing system. If you cancel your subscription, your live trading nodes stop running. So, for user safety, your subscriptions automatically renew each month.

Pause and Resume Subscriptions

If you're not going to utilize your QuantConnect subscriptions for a month or two, pause your subscriptions to avoid unnecessary charges. Pausing suspends access to your account, but all your cloud configuration, project files, and set up will be kept as is. When you resume your subscriptions, your account will be the same as you left it.

  1. Open the Billing page.
  2. In the Details section, click Cancel.
  3. On the Downgrade page, click Pause for 1 month or Pause for 2 months.
  4. Click Pause My Subscription.

Resume Subscriptions

To resume your paused subscriptions, open the Billing page and then click Resume. If you prematurely resume your subscriptions, the credit you receive is pro-rated based on the duration of the pause period.

Payment Failures

If your payment fails, Stripe automatically tries again after 6-12 hours.
