What happens when my subscription expires — is my data deleted?

It's important to understand the timeline when a subscription lapses, so you know exactly how long you have to act.

The expiry timeline

When a subscription lapses without payment:

1. The server is suspended.
2. It is deleted 10 days later, and all data is removed.

Occasionally a security backup may hold remnants, but without your server ID (from the console URL) and server IP, that data can't be fetched — and even then recovery isn't guaranteed.

Protecting your data

Tip: Keep your own backups and enable auto-pay so a subscription never expires unexpectedly.

You can download your world/files any time from the Files manager or via SFTP — that's the surest way to keep a copy.

Frequently asked questions

How long after expiry is my data deleted? The server is suspended first, then deleted 10 days later.

Can you recover my data after deletion? Only possibly — a security backup may hold remnants, but it requires your server ID (from the console URL) and IP, and recovery isn't guaranteed.
