3 Critical Billing Traps to Watch Out For
1. Add-On Credit Lockout Upon Cancellation
While purchased add-on credits never technically expire, they require an active paid subscription to be consumed. If your Pro subscription expires or is canceled, any remaining add-on credit balance becomes inaccessible until you resubscribe.
2. Student Discount Silent Rollover
Students enrolled in the Windsurf for Students program receive discounted monthly rates for up to 12 months. According to the Codeium for Students Terms, once the discount period concludes, accounts automatically convert to a full-price monthly recurring subscription unless canceled beforehand.
3. Teams Seat Deletion vs. Plan Cancellation
Removing a team member from your organization workspace does not automatically downgrade the overall Teams subscription plan. Organization administrators must explicitly cancel the plan via the team dashboard to prevent recurring seat charges.
