​

Upgrading monthly plans to higher monthly plans

When you upgrade, your billing cycle stays the same. You are only charged the price difference between your old plan and your new plan. Any unused tokens from your current plan remain available. You also receive enough additional tokens to bring you up to the full amount for your new plan right away, so you can use them immediately. Example monthly to monthly upgrade

• You signed up for the Pro 10M monthly plan on January 1 for $25.
• By January 20, you used 8M tokens, leaving 2M unused.
• On January 20, you upgraded to the Pro 26M monthly plan for $50.

Here’s what happens at the time of your upgrade:

• You are charged $25, which is the difference between the $50 plan and the $25 plan.
• You keep your 2M unused tokens.
• You receive 16M additional tokens, bringing your total available tokens to 26M for the month.
• Your next renewal date stays the same: February 1.
  • Starting on that date, you will be charged $50 per month for the Pro 26M plan and receive 26M tokens each month on your renewal date.

​

Upgrading monthly plans to annual plans

When you switch from a monthly plan to an annual plan, you’re charged immediately for the annual price of your new plan. Any unused tokens from your monthly plan roll over into your new annual plan. Your annual plan starts on the upgrade date, and your renewal date resets to that same day each year. Example monthly to annual upgrade You’re on the $25 Pro 10M monthly plan that started January 1. On January 20, you’ve used 8M tokens and have 2M left. You upgrade to the $540 Pro 26M annual plan.

• You pay $540 at the time of upgrade.
• You receive 26M new tokens.
• You keep your 2M unused monthly tokens, giving you 28M total.

Your new renewal date is January 20 each year, at $540, and you will receive 26M tokens on each future renewal date.

​

Upgrading annual plans

When you upgrade from one annual plan to another, you are charged a prorated amount based on the number of whole months remaining in your current billing cycle at the new plan’s price. Your renewal date does not change. When your plan renews, you will be charged the full price of the new plan going forward. You keep any unused tokens from your current plan. You also receive enough additional tokens to bring you up to the new plan’s full monthly allocation for the month in which you upgrade, plus you get that full allocation again on each monthly anniversary for the rest of your billing cycle. Example annual to annual upgrade

• You signed up for the Pro 10M annual plan on January 1 for $216/year.
• By June 12, you have 3.5M unused tokens remaining.
• On June 12, you upgrade to the Pro 26M annual plan at $540/year.

Here’s what happens at the time of your upgrade:

• Your renewal date stays January 1.
• You keep your 3.5M unused tokens.
• You receive 16M additional tokens immediately, meaning you will have 19.5M total in hand.
• You will receive 26M tokens on each monthly anniversary (July through December).
• You are charged a prorated amount for the 7 months where you receive the higher allocation:

Upgrade cost: 7 × [($540 ÷ 12) − ($216 ÷ 12)]
= 7 × ($45 − $18)
= $189

On your next annual renewal date (January 1 in this example):

• You will be charged the full annual price for your new plan ($540).
• Your monthly token top-ups will continue on the same schedule, with 26M available each month.

​

Downgrade your plan

Downgrading your Bolt plan will take effect at the beginning of the next billing cycle. To downgrade your Bolt plan, follow the steps below:

4. Select the plan you want.
5. Click Downgrade.
6. Review the details of the downgrade.
7. Click the confirmation message.

Downgrades take effect at the beginning of your next billing cycle. For example: if you downgrade from Pro $50 to Pro $25 on the 1st, and your billing renews on the 10th, the change will show on your account starting the 10th.

​

How to use a coupon code

Coupon codes can come from different sources. Sometimes Bolt shares them directly through social media or email, and other times they come from our authorized partners. How you enter your promo code will depend on if you’re signing up for a new subscription from a Free plan or upgrading an existing subscription.

​

Upgrade an existing subscription using a promo code

1. Log in to Bolt.
2. On the Bolt homepage, hover over the left side of the screen, then click My Subscription.
3. Click See all available plans.
4. Select the plan you want.
5. Enter your promo code in the Promo code field.
6. Confirm your upgrade.

​

Sign up for a new subscription from a Free plan using a promo code

1. Log in to Bolt.
2. On the Bolt homepage, hover over the left side of the screen, then click My Subscription.
3. Select a plan to upgrade to from the Upgrade to Pro section.
4. Click Upgrade.
5. On the left side of the screen, click Add promotion code.
6. Enter your promotion code.

​

Cancel a subscription

You can cancel at any time.

1. Log in to Bolt.
2. On the Bolt homepage, hover over the left side of the screen, then click My Subscription.

4. Click Cancel subscription on the right side of the page.
5. Click Cancel subscription again to confirm.

If you cancel in the middle of a billing period, your plan remains active until the end of the period, and your unused tokens are still available. At the end of the billing period, your cancellation comes into effect, and your token limit drops to the free tier level. If you’ve already upgraded to a higher-tier paid plan during your current billing cycle, you’ll need to wait until the subscription renews to downgrade to a lower-tier plan. You can still cancel your subscription at any time. Note that any tokens you receive during mid-cycle upgrades roll over as normal, as long as you maintain a paid subscription. For more information, check out the Token rollover section.
