However, if circumstances arise that lead you to consider pausing or canceling your membership, this article is for you. We will guide you on how to pause or cancel Audible membership.
There could be various reasons to cancel or pause a membership on Audible. Perhaps you’re away on an extended vacation and can’t listen to audiobooks for a while. You may have temporarily shifted to other entertainment or reading materials and want a break. Whatever the case, navigating the process of pausing or canceling your Audible membership smoothly is essential.
Things to Know Before Canceling Audible Subscription
Before canceling your Audible subscription, here’s a list of things to avoid any unexpected issues.
- Review the benefits of your current Audible membership. Consider whether you’re utilizing the perks, such as monthly credits, discounts, and access to exclusive content. If you cancel, you will lose these benefits.

- Furthermore, if you have any specific concerns or questions about canceling your Audible subscription, don’t hesitate to contact their customer support for assistance.
You must consider these things before deciding that canceling is right for you. With that understanding, let’s begin with the steps.

How to Pause Your Audible Subscription
Audible allows you to pause your membership (depending on your location) instead of canceling it outright. This might be a better choice if you plan to return at some point. When you pause your Audible membership, you pause the auto-renewal process, pausing your benefits like monthly credits and access to included titles.
Note: You can pause your membership for up to 90 days (3 months) once every 12 months. This 12-month period begins on the day your membership resumes.
Step 1: Go to Audible from your preferred browser on your Windows or Mac computer and log in to your account.
Step 2: Click on the Help option in the upper right corner.
Step 3: On the next page, click the Contact us button.
Step 4: Under ‘Contact Audible Customer Service,’ scroll down to the ‘Contact Audible Support’ section, choose the Membership button, and click on the chevron (arrow) icon under ‘Please make a selection.’
Step 5: Select ‘Switch My Membership Plan’ from the drop-down.
Note: This option is demographic-specific, meaning you may or may not see it in your region. If you don’t see this option, choose ‘Plans & Benefits’ and contact the support team.
Step 6: Finally, under ‘To contact us, choose one of the option below,’ choose your preference, connect with the support team, and ask them to put Audible membership on hold.
That’s about it. You have paused your Audible membership. Note that when your pause period ends, your membership auto-renews for your regular monthly subscription until canceled.
Additionally, there’s no way to pause the subscription on mobile. You can either open Audible in a browser with a desktop view or contact the support team directly to help you pause.
