Summary
Merchant Trashawn Price was confused about why failed subscription payments were being pushed to the next billing cycle instead of retried sooner. Agent Rick explained that this is default behavior and that automatic payment retry (Billing Recovery) is a paid feature. Rick then arranged for the feature to be enabled on the merchant's current plan free of charge, fully resolving the issue.
"Wow , ok thank you. will definitely leave a review"

> hi
**[2026-04-21 05:33:35] admin/Rick**
> The contracts do not reschedule dates automatically,
> What issue did you face that made you believe that was the case?
**[2026-04-21 05:34:42] user/Trashawn Price**
> when some contracts payment is declined the next attempt to charge them is skipped to the following month
**[2026-04-21 05:35:17] admin/Rick**
> Ah, I understand now, let me explain ..
**[2026-04-21 05:36:21] admin/Rick**
> It's not considered a reschedule, to be exact,
> By default, when a payment fails, that order is skipped, and the next attempt will happen on the next billing day, based on the interval.
