Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: Subscription billing recurs on a per-user monthly or annual interval depending on the selected plan tier, such as Basic or Pro developer memberships. Organizations frequently encounter unexpected billing adjustments when engineering teams add new developer seats or when workspace memberships auto-renew at standard retail pricing following a discounted promotional trial period.
Unreviewed registry note: To review your workspace billing settings and active seat counts, log in to your account dashboard at stoplight.io using your administrator credentials. If you wish to terminate paid features or downgrade your workspace to the free tier to avoid future charges, navigate to the workspace billing settings page and select the downgrade option before your next renewal date.
