The two rules of Audible: books bought with credits are yours forever, but unused credits evaporate the moment you cancel, always spend them first. And the pause option (1–3 months, once per year) is buried in the cancellation flow; it stops billing while keeping credits alive. Retention offers of 2-3 months at ~50% off appear almost every time you try to cancel.
