How do I downgrade my subscription to another paid tier?

To downgrade your subscription, first disable auto-renew by canceling your account in billing settings. See How do I disable auto-renewal for my Vimeo subscription plan? for more information.

Once your account has reached the subscription end date listed in billing settings, you can purchase a new plan at the desired tier.
