How can I pause billing for a client who needs a break?

Just tell your agent to 'Place a hold on subscription ID `123`'. It hits the `/holds.json` endpoint, clamping the account and completely forbidding the next billing cycle from firing until you choose to resume it.

Can my agent upgrade a customer to a higher pricing tier instantly?

Absolutely. You can ask for a list of products to find the new Plan ID, then prompt the agent to update the subscription target. The platform handles the mid-cycle prorations automatically while your agent executes the switch.

What happens when I cancel a subscription through the AI?

When you execute a cancellation, you can include a 'message' documenting the churn logic (e.g., 'Moving to competitor'). The AI executes an irreversible DELETE call stopping the MRR securely and appending your specific reason for analytics.
