Subscription billing is enabled.
For several weeks now, I've switched to the new subscription billing model that Patreon added recently.
It's way better for my Patrons than the previous "monthly charge upfront" model. Previously, if you joined on the 20th you were charged immediately, and then again on the 1st of the following month.
Now, with the subscription model, you always get an entire month of subscription regardless of when you join.
It means you don't need to wait until the 1st to subscribe (or resubscribe) if you see something interesting I posted at the end of the month.
Pricing in currencies other than USD.
I've noticed that over the past 12 months, prices on my Patreon page have changed for folks paying in currencies other than US dollars. As you may know, my tiers are priced in USD ($10 for Gold and $15 for Platinum). Price conversion to Euro, British Pound, etc. is done on the Patreon side, and creators don't have anything to say.
Unfortunately, it means that due to the strong dollar and weak pound and euro, the prices have gone up.
I'm bringing this up because AFAIK the subscription price doesn't increase while you're subscribed. However, I know that some of you make a pledge only from time to time. I don't want you to be surprised that subscribing again after you canceled costs more than you used to pledge in the past.
