Billing Problem... Now. PROBLEM NOW SOLVED!!!

PLEASE READ THE END NOTE TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE.

I have had billing on this page paused for months, and all indications from Patreon were that I could CONTINUE this billing pause indefinitely. A few weeks ago they added "Subscription Billing" which allows new Patrons to sign up on ANY day of the month and then be billed every 30 days from that date, instead of, for example signing up for a subscription on the 30th, paying that day, and then getting charged AGAIN one or two days later on the 1st. I took that option because it's only FAIR, right? Who wants to get double billed?

But now they're saying that if I opted for Subscription Billing and PAUSE billing, NEW Patrons CANNOT sign up! Well that sucks. But beyond that, despite what they say, there is NO option I can find anywhere now to extend the billing pause, and BILLING RESUMES TODAY! Though all or almost all of you only get billed on the 1st of each month.

I don't know how this is going to end up, but I'm warning you now (because I JUST discovered this) that Patreon is about to start billing you for the next month (probably beginning November 1st) and right now there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it.

NOTE: Thanks to a Patron (Thanks Stephen!) I now know how extending the pause works with the new billing system. I was able to extend the pause this morning (Oct 27) so all is well again. New Patrons can't join which is a bummer, but for now that's not a big issue.
