# Verify resuming a scheduled cancellation restores one renewal

Undo a period-end cancellation before expiry and verify the existing subscription resumes its renewal schedule without duplicate charges or lost entitlements.

## Risk

Resuming a subscription should normally update the existing contract rather than create another one. The browser may display active while the provider still has cancellation scheduled, so both systems need reconciliation.

## Fixtures

- A sandbox paid subscription already scheduled to cancel at a known future period end.
- A supported resume control and a controlled billing lifecycle fixture.
- Hooks reporting subscription identifiers, cancellation flags, renewal invoices, and feature entitlements.

## Steps

1. Open Billing and verify the scheduled cancellation date and current subscription identifier from the fixture hook.
2. Use the resume or undo-cancellation control and verify the confirmation describes the renewed billing commitment and next charge.
3. Confirm once and verify the cancellation notice disappears while the current plan and paid feature remain available.
4. Inspect subscription state and verify the original subscription identifier remains active with cancellation cleared.
5. Advance through the next sandbox renewal and verify one expected renewal invoice, the correct new period dates, and continuing entitlements.

## Expected results

- Resumption removes the scheduled cancellation on the existing subscription.
- The next billing boundary produces one intended renewal charge.
- Paid access continues across that boundary without an unintended temporary downgrade.

## False-pass traps

- A new active subscription beside an old cancelling subscription can look correct in a simplified UI while causing duplicate billing.
- Removing a cancellation banner does not establish the provider cancellation flag was cleared.

## Cleanup

- Cancel the disposable sandbox subscription and remove billing-clock overrides.

## Use with agent-qa

Adapt this test design to your application's acceptance criteria and configured target using the [recipe execution guide](/agent-library/software-factory/turn-a-recipe-into-an-agent-qa-test.md). External fixture setup and non-UI checks require your own supported hooks or test tooling. Validate the authored test, execute it, and inspect the completed evidence; this recipe is not a recorded test result.
