```

### Premium Renewal

Rafiki Premium does **not** automatically renew by default. You'll need to manually renew your subscription to keep Premium active.

* **Check your status:** `/rafiki premium` shows your current status and available perks
* **Renewal date:** If Rafiki doesn't show an exact date, check [inleo.io/premium](https://inleo.io/premium) for your renewal details
* **Payment history:** Rafiki can confirm whether Premium is active, but it does **not** show your payment transaction history or exact renewal date from chat alone
* **Manual renewal:** Visit [inleo.io/premium](https://inleo.io/premium) before expiration
* **On-chain lookup:** If you paid with HBD or LEO, you can also review your Hive wallet transaction history for the payment
* **After expiry:** Your account reverts to free tier — credits reset to 1,000/week

### Premium Troubleshooting

If your Premium status looks confusing, start here:

| Issue                                                 | What to do                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Premium is active but no countdown is shown           | This can be normal. Your status may be active even when the exact renewal date is not shown in chat. Check [inleo.io/premium](https://inleo.io/premium) for the exact renewal date.                                        |
| I want to know when I last paid for Premium           | Rafiki can confirm whether Premium is active, but it cannot show your payment history in chat. Check [inleo.io/premium](https://inleo.io/premium) and, if you paid on-chain, review your Hive HBD/LEO transaction history. |
| Premium is active but the app still shows **Pay Now** | Wait up to 30 minutes after subscribing, then refresh or log out and back in. If it still looks wrong after that, report it as a display issue in `#feedback`.                                                             |
| You paid but Premium hasn't activated yet             | Give it up to 30 minutes first. If it still hasn't updated, include your payment method and approximate purchase time when reporting it in `#feedback`.                                                                    |
| You want to confirm auto-renew                        | Check your subscription settings on INLEO directly. Rafiki will not assume auto-renew is enabled.                                                                                                                          |
