Freezing, Pausing, or Putting on Hold Active Game Time
Common Problems
- I need to take a break from the game and want to pause or freeze my game time.
- I'm going on vacation and I can't play for a while but I already paid my sub.
- I'm being deployed and won't be able to play for a long time.
Once you add game time to your World of Warcraft account, it is not possible to freeze, pause, or stop. The active time on your account will continue to be consumed until the expiration date.
If you would like to pause the payment of your recurring World of Warcraft subscription so that you are not charged after your current game time expires, you can find instructions on how to do that in our Pausing Next World of Warcraft Subscription Payment article.
