Pauseable realm subscriptions

i thought that maybe if you know that you will not be able to play on your realm for a long period of time (like if you get your xbox taken ) then you can pause your subscription, so like if you have 7 days left on your realm until you have to purchase another month then you can pause it. So then when you come back you will still have 7 days.

I can also see how this would be a problem for Minecraft profit wise. So i came up with the solution that there would be a pausing fee that is less then the subscription fee but not so small that they are at a total loss of money.

    Sounds like a great idea! Pausing fees don't sound very good though - maybe just take some time away from the remaining time on the realm to deal with pausing?

    I fall in and out of Minecraft phases—I would love this! I always pay for realms in 6 month intervals because it's cheaper long run but sometimes I burn out 3 months in for example, or get into another game. I only pay for the 3 player realm so it's not that expensive all things considered but being able to pause my subscription, like I can with so many other services, would be godsend.

    Hard no to the pausing fees however, if I pay for a product and decide to not use said product for an extended period of time, Microsoft shouldn't be able to charge me for the privilege of doing so. Especially since Hulu etc don't charge for pausing your subscription.

    Unfortunately this is not gonna happen, because when you pause your realm, your files will remain in the cloud and will take up space.
