4. Confirm the transaction.

### Cancel a Concurrency-based Plan
Users on a Concurrency-based Subscription must explicitly cancel their subscription; otherwise, the plan renews automatically whenever the current cycle ends. To cancel the current subscription, use the Cancel Subscription button on the Plan page.

Once users request cancellation, the remaining credits will be retained until the cancellation is confirmed and processed. Your plan remains active until the end of the current billing cycle, which begins on the Date of Cancellation. Users cannot purchase new credits unless they rejoin a monthly or annual subscription. Users have one year after canceling the subscription to view or save build data; after one year of cancellation, build data is removed from Travis CI.

All unique user triggering build counting is tracked against a Usage-based plan assigned to the Travis CI User or Organization, which is an 'owner' of a VCS repository enabled in Travis CI.

> The Usage-based pricing model bills based on minutes used (via credits) and the number of unique users triggering those builds (via user licenses). Users subscribe to a plan that allocates a pool of credits to be used towards build minutes and pricing for a specific number of user licenses. The credits are deducted from the user's credit balance as they are used in the Travis CI service.
Unique users triggering builds within a billing period will constitute a number of actual user licenses used out of allowed pool. If the user-license pool is exceeded by new unique user triggering build, credits for this extra usage will be deducted from available credit pool.
In custom cases, instead of charge in credits, user licenses will be tracked within month and will be charged at the end of the billing period, according to the rates of their selected plan.

Monthly Usage-based plans are subscriptions, granting a specific credit pool each month and (optionally) user-license allowance included in the price. Once these allowances are depleted, the credits may be refilled via the manual purchase of a credits package or [auto-refilled](/user/billing-autorefill/) and spent on builds and additional user-licenes.
