What happens to my bots when my plan or the beta ends?

Step by step

1. The noticeIt names each bot that pauses and when, in the app even with bot alerts muted there, and by email or Discord where you get Bot stopped alerts. No bot pauses for the number of bots without one. If your plan drops again before then, a new notice names them all, with a new date.
2. Which bots keep runningThe ones started first, up to the plan’s limits for paper and live bots. Pausing or stopping bots yourself before the date decides it instead, and a notice says once none will pause.
3. What a paused bot doesIt opens no new trade. A trade it holds stays open and is still looked after: its stop loss, take-profit and exit rules work as usual, and Close trade on its page still closes it. A live bot’s stop loss and take profit stay on the exchange; BuildTrade™ keeps watching a paper bot’s. Its page and event log say it paused for the plan.
4. ResumingA paused bot never restarts by itself. Upgrade your plan, or pause another bot to make room, then press Resume on its page; past the limit, Resume says how many bots your plan allows.
5. The betaWhile the beta runs, every account has the Architect plan’s limits. When it ends, each account goes back to its own plan: Apprentice when none is paid.
