Expiry & renewal of Pro
Short answer: nothing is deleted when Pro ends. The account moves to Free, and whatever exceeds the Free limits is temporarily suspended (not erased). After you pay again, everything is restored automatically.
What happens when Pro ends
The account moves to Free. All deploys, artifacts, settings, environment variables, and history stay in place. Only what isn't part of Free gets suspended:
- Projects over the limit. Free allows 5 projects. If you had more on Pro, the 5 oldest stay active and the rest become "suspended".
- Custom domains. These are a Pro capability, so all linked custom domains are suspended.
A suspended project is not a deleted one
A suspended project:
- stays in the dashboard with a suspended marker — you can still see it;
- does not serve its site — a placeholder page is shown instead (HTTP 503);
- rejects new deploys until you return to Pro.
Projects within the Free limit (the 5 oldest) keep working normally and are
served on their *.layero.ru addresses.
Custom domain
Only the domain is suspended — the project itself is unaffected. The DNS
record and the domain link in Layero are kept, and the project keeps
serving on its *.layero.ru address (if it's among the active ones). When
you return to Pro, the domain comes back with nothing to reconfigure.
Data retention
There is no timer after which suspended projects are erased. No automatic deletion exists — suspended projects are kept indefinitely, waiting for you to return to Pro.
A project is deleted only if you delete it (or delete the whole account). Subscription expiry has nothing to do with data deletion.
Grace period
In some cases there is a 7-day soft window during which Pro features keep working:
- A charge failed. If an auto-renewal payment fails (e.g. insufficient funds), you get 7 days — Pro keeps working while the system retries the charge.
- A trial ended. The same 7-day window applies after a trial expires.
There is no grace period if you cancel the subscription yourself or pay one-off without auto-renewal — in those cases the move to Free happens right at the end of the paid period.
Paying again restores everything automatically
On a successful Pro payment the account returns to the plan and all previously suspended resources come back — projects, custom domains, settings. Because nothing was deleted, exactly the same projects and domains are restored, with nothing to set up again. Sites start serving again within seconds.
In short
| Event | What happens |
|---|---|
| Pro ended | Account → Free; projects over 5 and custom domains suspended (not deleted) |
Sites on *.layero.ru | 5 oldest keep working; suspended ones show a placeholder (503) |
| Custom domain | Turned off; the project lives on, DNS and link preserved |
| Deletion by timer | None. Suspended projects are kept indefinitely |
| Paying for Pro again | Everything is restored automatically |
:::tip How to avoid downtime If you keep more than 5 projects or rely on a custom domain, leave auto-renewal on. Then there are no "Free ↔ Pro" transitions or suspensions at all. :::
