Full script

Lin
Hey, could you switch off auto-renewal for me before I forget again?
Them
Yeah, no problem—do you want it off today or after this billing cycle?
Lin
After this cycle, please; my wallet needs a tiny breather from my ambitious hobbies.
Them
Fair enough. Once I toggle it off, you’ll keep access until the renewal date.
Lin
Perfect, and just to confirm, it won’t quietly charge me at midnight, right?
Them
Right, no sneaky charges—unless your phone somehow signs up for something else.
Lin
Great, because last time I tried a hobby, I mostly stretched my credit card.
Them
Then you’re all set—and your card can finally start its recovery workout.
