"Cancel Subscription" clarification

I know there are some people out there who (want to/have to) stop their reccuring payment on Mogstation linked to their FFXIV subscription. Then they have to Google or ask themselves, "Am I still be able to play the game with the remaining days I have left after I cancel?"

However, there is no clear cut indication stating that you are still able to play the game with your remaining days until AFTER you click on "Cancel Subscription" and then click on confirm.

If you're like me -and I hope you're not- the words "Cancel Subscription", to me is a bit misleading. I'd prefer it say "Cancel Recurring Payment" or "Stop Recurring Payment" or something similar.

Sure, maybe it's common knowledge that you are still able to play the game after you cancel your subscription if you still have remaining days. However, i'm sure people or even newer users find it confusing and they have to search online and ask the question..

Now I ask...
Can you please include text that make it clear BEFORE you click on "Cancel Subscription" that you are still able to play with your remaining days?

That is just a little story with my experience using Mogstation.

TL;DR: Please include text that says you are still able to play the game BEFORE you click on cancel subscription (if you have remaining days). And if you think that "Cancel Subscription" and "Stop Recurring Payment" mean the same thing; I want to know why because I think they have different meanings.

A subscription is a recurring service though...?

Don't cancel subscription instead delete your credit card number and when you run out of days it won't renew. If you cancel sub then you delete your player profile and have to buy another one and start over I learned this during v1 days

I feel that If cancel my internet subscription, they'd disconnect my internet immediately.

Or is it common knowledge worldwide that I'd still be able to use my internet until the end of the month?
Does it vary with different company policies?
I'm confused

Last time I cancelled my internet sub, I was able to use my remaining days...?
So yes?

Yes you are able to keep playing your remaining days after you cancel your subscription.

There is cancel subscription and cancel account, cancel subscription puts account into a hiatus mode and can't use until you add more time, cancel account deletes the account being the sub and characters.

Honestly that depends on provider.
I had cases where it was instant and others were they let you till your time runs out.

Yeah I think it's cancel the auto sub, never the account.

You don't have an "internet subscription". You have a an internet service provider, to whom you must pay a monthly fee. If you cancel, you're cancelling your internet service. And you can specify the date in which you want to cancel. If you call on July 1st to cancel your service, you can specify that you want it disconnected on the 23rd, for example.

DO NOT CANCEL IT. It will delete your ENTIRE account.

Yeah I think it's cancel the auto sub, never the account.

You're thinking about canceling your ACCOUNT. People really do need to double check stuff before clicking...

If you're paying per month and cancel halfway through a month it typically isn't going to end your service until the start of the next billing cycle, when you won't be charged again. That last part of the month that you're still active would have already been paid for at the last billing period unless you waited until right before you'd get charged to cancel. It does depend on the company, situation and the service in question, but from my experience this has always been the way SE has done it, as far as xiv is concerned anyway.
