Common questions
Do I have to set up my rules and agents again after resuming?
No. A workspace whose plan ended keeps everything: pages, rules, agents, automations, saved replies and history. Choosing a plan again switches moderation back on exactly as it was.
How soon does moderation start again after I choose a plan?
Immediately. Pick the plan, then checkout; moderation resumes and the pages return to Receiving comments.
Does CommentWatchDog still collect comments while my plan is paused?
Yes. Comments that arrived while it was paused are in the inbox, and nothing was deleted when the plan ended.
