I'm very surprised Patreon would let a creator switch that without asking for existing patron's consent, it seems ripe for abuse and borderline illegal.

- judge2020 4y agoThey hope their creators will inform them it seems, although maybe there is a patreon-initiated email informing backers when they make this change (I just can't find any evidence of it). > Letting your patrons know about billing changes in advance is most important when switching from per creation to another option. Patrons may want to upgrade their subscription if they know that their pledged amount will be x 1. Say Patron F is at your $5 tier with a monthly max of 2 creations per month. When you switch to monthly, their subscription amount defaults to $5 a month -- they may want to increase to $10 a month to account for the change. https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000118666-Can-I-change-how-I-bill-my-patrons- https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000118666-C...
