How to Cancel Auto-Renewal
You can do this in the middle of an active subscription or free trial and you will still have access to contents till the end of your current billing period or free trial.

What Happens When You Stop Paying?
But what happens when you cancel auto-renewal and you stop paying? You get deactivated. When Netflix tries to charge you for the next billing cycle and it fails, they will suspend your account. Consequently, you will no longer have access to Netflix contents. Netflix will stop trying to charge you once your account goes unpaid for, for another month. Although your account is suspended, you can reopen at any time. All you have to do is to pay the normal monthly subscription rate for the upcoming month. You will not be charged for the months you missed. The interesting part of this is that whenever you resume payment, the new due date will count from the new payment point.
