What happens when I downgrade my plan?

2 min read · Updated May 8, 2026

If you downgrade from a plan with 5 inboxes to one with 1, we need to know which inbox stays. Instead of guessing (and potentially picking the wrong one), we pause all your inboxes and let you choose.

The flow

  1. You downgrade in Stripe (or via the DraftKite billing portal).
  2. We receive Stripe's webhook and pause ALL your inboxes — marking them with 'plan-downgrade-pick-inboxes'.
  3. We send you an email asking you to 'choose which inboxes should stay active'.
  4. You go to /indbakker, see all your inboxes paused with a 'reactivate' button, and pick up to your new plan's limit.
  5. The ones you pick resume normal operation immediately.

What isn't reset?

Your labels, knowledge base, plugins, drafts and settings remain completely untouched. A paused inbox is simply 'not active right now' — all history is preserved.

Upgrading again

If you upgrade back to your old plan (or higher), trial-paused inboxes are reactivated automatically. Inboxes paused by a plan downgrade still require you to click 'reactivate', though — we won't automatically start inboxes you may have deliberately chosen to pause.
