# Services

> The Oxanaut service lifecycle: statuses, specs, upgrades, renaming, cancellation.

An Oxanaut service is a game server (or a GameBox resource pool) attached to your account. You manage it from the **Services** section.

## Service lifecycle

| Status         | Meaning                                                                                |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Pending**    | Ordered, awaiting payment. Nothing is created on the infrastructure.                   |
| **Installing** | Payment received, the server is being created on the game panel. Allow a few minutes.  |
| **Active**     | The server is running. Open it from the game panel.                                    |
| **Suspended**  | Unpaid invoice at its due date. The server is stopped; it restarts as soon as you pay. |
| **Cancelled**  | End of life (invoice unpaid for more than 14 days, or requested cancellation).         |

<Warning>
  After the due date you have 14 days to settle an unpaid invoice. Past that deadline the service is cancelled and deleted. The invoice remains due.
</Warning>

## Service page

The service page shows:

* the **Specifications** card: live status, CPU, RAM, disk, connection address and the **Open in game panel** button;
* the **Billing** card: price per cycle, next due date, auto-renewal, debit day (changeable once a month, monthly cycles only);
* the **Change plan** card: upgrades and downgrades within the same product family.

Rename a service from the Specifications card, **Rename** button.

## Upgrades and downgrades

You can change plans at any time, up or down **within the same family** (for example GTA-V Spark to GTA-V Surge).

1. On the service page, open **Change plan**.
2. Pick the target plan: the exact prorated amount is displayed based on the days remaining.
3. Confirm: an adjustment invoice is generated, the server is resized after payment, without reinstall.

## Sub-users

You can invite other Oxanaut accounts to manage a service with fine-grained permissions (start/stop, console, files…). Sub-users never access the service billing.

## Cancel a service

Two cancellation modes:

* **End of period**: the service runs until the end of the paid cycle, then stops without renewing.
* **Immediate**: the service is suspended then deleted after the grace period. Associated unpaid invoices are cancelled.

An end-of-period cancellation can be revoked as long as the cycle is not over.
