Payments and account balances for cancelled Netflix subscriptions
When you cancel your Netflix account, all payments should be stopped accordingly. Any remaining time in the current billing cycle is still available, so your account won’t stop working until your account balance ends. The same goes for profiles that use Netflix gift cards or promotional balances.
Netflix will keep your viewing activity for 10 months after account closure, making it easy to return later. Recommendations, viewing history, ratings, and game saves are also restored when you reactivate your Netflix account.
