What is the “pause subscription” in Hulu
Pause your subscription allows you to temporarily freeze your subscription payments. This is especially useful if you’re going somewhere and won’t be using the service for a while. Once you want to pause your subscription you will be asked when you want to resume it and when the selected time runs out this will happen automatically.
You can put your account on a 12-week pause, after that period runs out, your account will be considered inactive and can be canceled. During the pause, you can log in to your account, but you won’t be able to view movies, shows, or other content on Hulu.
You can only activate your account’s pause feature three times in three months, so use it wisely.
