autorenewing

Continuously refreshing itself

Autorenewing describes a subscription, contract, or membership that automatically extends for another period unless actively canceled.

The term appears most often in billing contexts: The autorenewing subscription charged my card again.

Software licenses, streaming services, and magazine subscriptions commonly use autorenewing arrangements, which critics note can be difficult to stop.
