After Subscribe has exhausted all retry attempts and the Subscription has reached the end of the defined grace period, Subscribe automatically cancels the Subscription for non-payment. In the diagram below, Subscribe has been configured to attempt 4 retries over a 27 day period. In this example, if Subscribe is not able to collect the payment within 27 days after the initial billing attempt, then Subscribe cancels the Subscription for non-payment. **Note:** Subscribe does not attempt to bill a credit card that has returned a hard failure code during the grace period until the subscriber provides a new payment method. When the new payment method is provided, Subscribe attempts to collect payment (see [Enable Subscribers to Update Credit Card on File For a Suspended Subscription](2407_r_updateCreditCardSuspended)). **Parent topic:**[Subscription Cancellations](../topics/r_subscriptionCancellations) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
